Alford, Eustachy kings of the Mountain | TheGazette

From article:

Today, their teams are in what amounts to a 2-team battle for the regular-season championship of the MWC. New Mexico is 9-2. Colorado State, which plays at UNLV tonight (Wednesday) is 8-2. No other league team has fewer than five losses in MWC play.

Well....his NCAA record looks a lot like TD's

New Mexico Season By Season Results
SEASON	W-L	RESULTS
2012	1-1	Defeated Long Beach State in first round, 75-68 Lost to Louisville in second round, 59-56

BTW Steve, hope you washed that hand of yours....never know where Larry had it.

Go Rams.....

I hope they both have to forfeit all of their games for using ineligible players.

Larry Eustachy is a hell of a coach, if he could have coached the recruits that Wayne Morgan was bringing in, ISU would have had some damn good squads.

I could see Alford getting to the Sweet 16 this year. His last trip was 98-99 correct? Yeah he's due.

Seriously though, I think NM ends up in Sweet 16.

Paper tiger. I don't see this happening. But we shall see.

You could be right. I've only seen them play 4 or 5 games this season. So I'm not trying to pretend like I'm an expert on them. But I was impressed with how they played together. They seem to have pretty good chemistry and they play efficiently. They kind of have a Wisconsin feel to them. No "stars" really, but they make up for it by executing well.

I'm also calling a mid major will play in the title game again this year.

Flipping channels before conference play started and CSU with Eustachy was playing UTEP with Floyd. Forgot Floyd settled out there after the Bulls and USC?

Not sure I would count Gonzaga as a mid major anymore.

Gonzaga won't make the final four.

What major conference are they in?

ISU had some damn good squads while Larry was coaching them. His last two years there, however, were horrible.

Because he struggled recruiting. And he only brought Wayne Morgan in his last season there. I can't help but think how good those Stinson-Blaylock back courts would have been with Eustachy coaching them. Morgan brought in some big time players, Shawn Taggert, and great athletes, Rashon Clark, Tasheed Carr, but he was a terrible coach. I think they would have been top 10 teams with Eustachy still there.
