New Mexico (MWC) head coach #PaulWeir , who left NMST HC job in 2017 for the NM job, apologizied for the actions of some of his players in a pre-game skirmish at rival New Mexico State in Las Cruces. JoJo Zamora tossed in 27 points and Ivan Aurrecoechea scored 23 with 11 rebounds in the NMST blowout of NM 100-65.The Aggies are 2-0 against the Lobos this season and also have OOC wins against Wash St (Pac12) and UTEP (CUSA).

#IvanAurrecoechea (14 PTS, 3 REB, 6 AST) but Zamora's last second trey attempt bounced off the rim in New MexicoSt loss to #2 Kansas.dec 22
#ChicagoSt got crushed by local neighbor #Depaul last week and are 0-17 in this matchup which won't help recruiting. #seattleu is having a decent December including playing UW tough before falling 70-62.

CBU had to wait out its transition period. If they were going by record,
Chicago St, the perennial WAC cellar dweller, was winless, and would
have been sidelined. Dan Majerle has Grand Canyon back in the WAC final against NMST.

Harris passed on an open layup and fed Terrell Brown for a trey.
Brown was fouled but missed two of three free
throws with 1.1 seconds left, and New Mexico State fell 78-77 to Auburn. What a roll of the dice.

Kareem Richardson,
the only coach that has taken #UMKC to the postseason. is out and Billy Donlon, who was head coach at
Wright State (Horizon) from 2010-16, is in was named UMKC He has spent time on
staffs at Northwestern and Michigan which may help in recruiting in the Midwest.
april 11
I heard the rumors but remain mildly surprised that BYU(WCC) hired a #WAC coach, #MarkPope from Utah Valley . His Wolverines went 77-56 overall in four seasons, including a 34-24 record in the WAC.
april 15
#markMadsen hired as UVU Head Coach. His resume:six seasons on the Lakers staff, a
year as the Lakers G League head coach, and a season as an
assistant coach at Stanford.May 31: MILAN ACQUAAH, California Baptist- smart move not leaving for the 2019 NBA draft. He was decent on a so -so team.
july 3
#grandcanyon Head coach Dan Majerle landed Jaylen Fisher, an impact transfer from TCUjuly 8-some history- Utah Valley, UTPA and Chicago State came from the Great West. Texas Pan- American merged into UTRGV. Chicago St won the last Great West tourney in 2013.
I need to do some research on these teams. Missed the UTEP loss to NM St.
