On their way to being the premier D1 basketball program in the state it seems.

in other old news: Mark Hall rang up about $800 in personal calls on a U phone, and finally quit the team for good: iirc 1982

the U raises more than $400M in donations annually now

I was wondering why I hadn't seen St Thomas in the MIAC standings lately.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Another one? Just announced a new arena. Now they’ll have 2!

Certainly not for sports.

You think UST raises nothing outside of sports?

first, I didn't type "that I think UST raises nothing outside of sports"
second, its a multiuse arena, not just sports

i applaud the Anderson's support of UST and they have donated much in the past. But, from an annual donation perspective, total University operating budget perspective and an annual sports budget perspective, UST is a pygmy next to the U.

I say this not to downgrade UST, but more to show how little the U seems to care about basketball given the U's resources

If UST becomes the top college basketball program in Minnesota it won't be because they have more dollars and resources.

Anything St Thomas can do to raise the stakes for the U is a good thing in my book.

Is anyone donating $75 million towards a new basketball arena for the U?
Anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller?

The Anderson gift was apparently the 9th biggest gift ever to college athletics program ever.

So he still has eligibility?

Love to have someone with his skills driving the bus.

This is where I stand. Hopefully this embarrasses the U into being serious.

I suggest not looking for them in the KenPom rankings either, that's more depressing.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Coyle blew it.

i think Mark Hall died in 1988, so he'd be a step slower than our current guards

Passed in 2011 and was a5th round pick of the Hawks in 1982

I literally had just heard it it in a blurb on Midco when watching the NSIC tournament. Don't be an ass.

Always good to have a spare! That way they could host a 16 team holiday tournament without much problem.

Not on topic but Midco has amazing customer service.

They did a good job covering the tournament on their sports app.
