My hopes of West Virginia getting a 8/9-seed are over and will end up with an 11 or 12.
Jimmy Patsos' Loyola made the tourney. Should be a fun coach to watch.
From his wiki:
Quote:
On November 19, 2008 Jimmy Patsos became one of the only coaches ever to coach from the stands during his teams game in an attempt to avoid being ejected by the referees.[7]
On November 25, 2008 Patsos was roundly criticized for appearing to prefer holding Davidson player Stephen Curry scoreless over winning the basketball game by double-teaming Curry while he stood in the corner while Davidson played 4 on 3 against the remaining players.[8] In his post-game press-conference, Patsos justified his strategy by stating that “We had to play against an NBA player tonight. Anybody else ever hold him scoreless? I’m a history major. They’re going to remember that we held him scoreless or we lost by 30?”
