Torn

This has been a hard couple of weeks in one respect. I haven't known whether to cheer for against SUI.

I want Steve Alford to hang around as long as possible. But with a new AD, he needs to win some games, and while his conference record was solid, there were some clunkers down the stretch that will keep his team out of the NCAAs.

The Big 1011 Tournament loss to Purdue didn't help. So while I like a 20 SUI point loss as much as anyone, it is bittersweet, knowing that it may be bringing the Alford era to a close.

Too bad. Barta will probably have the luck of hiring not just a coach who could win, but a nice guy, too. Where's the fun in that?
