Richman took over a highly talented NDSU team from Saul Phillips (Whom I'm sure people also wanted fired after his losing record season/s). Went to the dance with them his first year and then has gotten worse every year at NDSU.
Brian Jones has been to the NCAA Dance more recently than David has.
NDSU made the dance in its first year after becoming eligible for the autobid (first time a team had since 1972).
SDSU four years.
UND five years ( played in the Big Sky Championship game in their second year of eligibility).
USD still waiting.
Making the tournament ain't going to get any easier with the tournament permanently located in Sioux Falls (with the addition of Augustana) and SDSU winning the postseason tournament the past three years. Which in turn has made The Summit postseason one of the best around and one of the best attended in the country.
Looks like Cags might be on the second line tonight with Kane vs the Rangers.
(Edmonton and maybe Chicago) Fans seems to hate his productivity, but coaches seem to love his heart and determination.
SDSU is one of the better college basketball teams in the country. They already have some impressive wins this year. They needed double at USD, which appears to also be a good team themselves.
Housing and feeding students isn't critical either. The free market could do that. And Kennedy would probably even tell you can do it better.
Sell the dorms and dining services.
