Best AD in the country, there’s a reason WMU has seen so much athletics success recently

Western Michigan AD “we will pay the tickets for any students who make the trip” When you have a great AD and a great Head Coach, forget big NIL money, you can build a powerhouse. Tremendous leadership will lead to more banners. #CawlidgeHawkey

The “Suburban AAU team” has been running the “City teams” lately. 🗣️

@LetsGoDU A reason why I’m in favor of home site regionals too

@LetsGoDU No, I’m just against the better seed playing a road game, not Denver/your fault, I’m saying it’s a fault of the system Wasn’t intended as a shot at you at all

It brings me no joy to say this but you may as well etch Loveland in stone: 4 Western Michigan 13 Minnesota State 5 Denver 12 Wisconsin I’ll be floored if they send WMU to Worcester and Michigan State to Loveland.

@danbart3 Would help avoid road games for higher seeded teams as well, no reason for a one seed to be playing essentially a road game to a lower seeded team in a regional but happens almost once a year at this point

Yes, it would. And move it off the Basketball Sweet 16 weekend.

Acuff isn’t even defending him on most of these clips, and the few he is are mostly fine defense? Not only that Martin is genuinely the quickest player I’ve seen in college this year that dude is a hooper himself. Just insane narrative pushing around Acuff rn

@Vale_O_Paradise Played 6 mid majors including Akron and Memphis. Only two true “buy” games on the schedule and if you’re getting mad about that you should also get mad at mid majors playing non-D1s

Matt painter would be one to beat around the bush. But we all know damn well that "doing what is best for the NET" means eating a whole lot of cupcakes (and matt certainly looks like he has more than his fair share)

@MatchewRolex Purdue played 5 games against mid majors and had Akron (best mid major on paper going into year) on the schedule. He was so scared of the A-10 he scheduled a true road game at bama Guy is the furthest thing from a duck

Yeah but you're not playing Valley or A10 schools Matt. You're playing Mid-Majors you know you can beat It is hilarious to see this guys get so defensive over this lol. They know what they're doing

The Michigan @Gatorade Player of the Year 🏆 Congrats @CameronRyans0! #BroncosReign

We got our guy. #BroncosReign

Greg Waddell is just like the rest of us 😢 How he fell in love with March because of Chalmers' game-tying shot ❤️#marchmadness LIVE: 📺 mml.app.link/ncaa_event_802

No one has done it better. Congrats Braden on an incredible achievement.

@drunkbuster I’m glad we’re hiring a proven head coach who’s had success, no reason this program can’t morph into one of the better programs in the MAC with the new arena being built

@J_Hart32 you’re talking me into it

WMU HC hires that weren’t saddi • clayton bates: 13-39 .250% • dwaste stephens: 42-84 .333% im gonna let the new guy cook, but striking out on saddi for the third time in a row really sucks

@drunkbuster FWIW he took UTRGV from 329 on KP the year before he got there to 117 in 2 years, and he’ll have serious resources at Western

@J_Hart32 perhaps

Tremendous hire for WMU. Fennell is a future star.

NEWS: Western Michigan is hiring UTRGV head coach Kahil Fennell, source tells @SINow. Fennell is a sharp young program builder who led UTRGV to 19 wins and the program’s best-ever KenPom. WMU is expected to have a strong MAC rev share pool and has a new facility in progress.
