Such a good, positive thread it was, too.

Question. Assuming we don't lose any of the remaining players or signees, how much better can we be next season? Or do we still need a major talent upgrade?

Nice guys can win and tough guys can lose. You still have to coach regardless of the content of your character. Conroy and Teevens may be the two "best" men we have had at Tulane. Regrettably they could not fill the job description and moved on. Cowen's issue is that for whatever reasons ...

If MD can give us 3-4 GOOD seasons that will be more than the 30 & 40 somethings have given us in the past 15 years.

For reference, I know a guy from Indiana who said no one would WANT to go to Valparaiso, Indiana, unless they had no other choice.

The Advocate's take: http://www.theneworleansadvocate.com/sports/tulane/15299754-128/sources-tulane-poised-to-hire-mike-dunleavy-sr-as-mens-basketball-coach Dunleavy’s name recognition alone could help fill some of those seats. When news of Tulane’s pending agreement broke Friday afternoon, “Mike D...

Wave wins the opener, 13-0. Ross Massey goes 7, giving up 5 hits. Duester closes out the final two innings, giving up one hit.

Alemais went 2-5 tonight, so he seems healthy. Team had 16 hits tonight.

I knew his wife was from NOLA. Who's the brother in law?

I think I've got this figured out. Troy Dannen's wife Amy must have been complaining that she couldn't find her way around town, so he figured he'd hire Dunleavy and let his wife show her around.

Any thoughts on what this means for our current players/recruits? Do you think they'll stay?

Any thoughts on what this does for our current players/recruits? Do you think we keep them?

TD continues to send the message we're serious about winning. Are you listening Big XII?

Should get us some national buzz this weekend during the Sweet Sixteen as well.

Didn't see that coming. He does have ties to NOLA. His wife is from here. Maybe he brings his son, who is currently an assistant at Villanova?

Or would there be any interest in Kevin Stallings of Vandy, if he gets let go?

Kevin Stallings told @CBSSports there is "no truth whatsoever" to the report that he has been fired by Vanderbilt.

Anyone got thoughts on the new name on this list? Mike Dunleavy Sr.?

Greg Lansing from Indiana St is the name on Twitter. Fits the Dannen profile. Not a splash hire, but big improvement over Conroy. some info...https://www.google.com/url?url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Lansing&rct=j&frm=1&q=&esrc=s&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwio1IqHmNzLAhXCwiYKHSg...

The best players want to play against the best competition. I agree with you 100% but you never seem to feel this way when we are fighting a P5 for a football recruit. There's a difference. First, players want to play. Then, they want to play against the best competition. A player good enough to be...

Exactly how much do you think Conroy was making??? $650K-$700K but TD has stated our coach will be paid in the middle of the AAC pack. So that's around $1.5MM I would think $1M plus SHOULD be enough incentive for him make a jump from Valpo to here, no matter what their "recent history" is...

If anybody here really believes that Tulne is a better job than Valpo - they have lost their mind. As stated above, Valpo is easier to recruit to, easier to win at and pays more money - a lot more money ... No way that Tulane hires away the head coach from Valpo ... No way .. I think you're wrong. ...

I did hear the announcers at one point during the second half. FGCU had five seniors on the floor, while Tulane had two sophomores and a freshman. Experience helps. We've got some talent that will only get better next year. And I assume we won't be having a player exodus like we get in MBB.

I spoke to someone recently who's familiar with Indiana. Says Valparaiso is a miserable place to live. Seems like a move from there to New Orleans would be worth it, regardless of the job itself.

The three names I’ve heard in the Tulane coaching search are Anthony Grant. Greg Gary and James Jones.

I think I'd prefer Anthony Grant to either of those, not that he excites me. I would say we know Jones can with in an academic environment, but then again, all the teams in his conference are in the same boat, so he's got a level playing field. This situation is very different.

Tulane women fighting the inherent flaw in the NIT; FGCU has played all of their games on their home court. The WNIT is good experience but it's definitely a lower-tier tournament driven more by money than competition. It was an advantage, but that's not the reason we lost. Although Lisa Stockton d...
