Former Demon point guard Mike Brey is head basketball coach at Notre Dame.
Former Mike McConathy assistant coach Buzz Williams is head coach at Marquette.
Former James Smith Lady Demon assistant coach Wendy Luebbers Schuller is the head coach at regular season Big Sky champion Eastern Washington.
Former Pat Pierson player and James Smith graduate assistant coach Sandy Pugh is head coach of the Southern Lady Jags. Her team won the SWAC regular-season title.
All are playing tonight in conference tournament semifinals.
Brey's Fighting Irish beat No. 16 Pittsburgh Thursday, while Williams' Warriors toppled No. 10 Villanova, in quarterfinal upsets at the Big East Tournament in Madison Square Garden. They could meet in the championship game.
Plenty of reason to root for NSU friends in March Madness! Seems likely Notre Dame and Marquette are in the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids if one doesn't win the conference tournament. Pugh and Schuller will have to get it done on the court as they're in "one bid" leagues.
GOOD LUCK!
