no way he leaves....btw, who was the idiot doing the color commentating on that game? He made some of the stupidest comments in the last 5 minutes of the game I have ever heard.
Gus Johnson is so much better that he almost puts Elmore to shame. Not as bad as the idiot, Duke dick-loving neanderthal Clark Kellog though. I actually want Packer back (man, I can't believe I'm saying that...).
I don't think Pennell did a bad job, but he didn't do anything special with them, either. Basically the same kind of team they've had the last couple of years, with, as GSJ notes, a good draw.
I think Utah was in a bad spot... maxed out, you might say. They were going to have to play really well to play to demonstrate that they earned their seed. Arizona had more talent and had absolutely nothing to lose.
Pennell probably can leverage this into a mid-major job -- something better than AAU, anyway.
