Proud NSU supporter Dustin Cross called this morning to ensure we knew about the latest national pub for Demon basketball.
ESPN analyst Fran Fraschella, speaking during a discussion on ESPN last night about the 2010 NCAA Tournament, talked about NSU and coach Mike McConathy.
When discussing Wisconsin's tournament chances, Fraschella brought up the Demons' 2006 NCAA Tournament win over Iowa and called McConathy "the Demons' great coach."
That's pretty special on national TV ....
... NSU alumnus and Lady Demon basketball great Sandy Pugh has coached Southern's Lady Jags back into the NCAA Tournament. Southern swept the regular-season and tournament titles in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and will get its first-round matchup in the NCAA women's bracket announcement tonight ....
... Not as fortunate was former Lady Demon assistant coach Wendy Luebbers Schuller, whose top-seeded Eastern Washington team fell in the semifinals of the Big Sky Conference Tournament at home to the sixth-seed, Montana State. EWU was missing its point guard, who could not play with a back injury, and the Big Sky Player of the Year was limited to 18 minutes with foul trouble in a heart-breaking 65-57 loss. Schuller's Eagles will play in the WNIT ....
... Friday night semifinals in the Big East Tournament were unkind to former NSU point guard Mike Brey (head coach at Notre Dame) and former McConathy assistant and now Marquette head coach Buzz Williams. The NCAA Tournament bracket was much more complimentary as both at-large selections earned regional No. 6 seeds, essentially ranking both teams among the best 24 in the country.
