Porter Moser may not have the team for this tournament but I wouldn't count him out at OU. He has beaten some very good teams in the tourney while coaching at Loyola-Chicago. IIRC, they beat Tinerc in the Sweet Sixteen some years back.

Typical Mike White getting out coached despite having more talent than the opposition.
That year they made the Final Four as an 11 seed Magic Mike White had let Coach Moser and Loyola come to Florida's home court and beat us when we were ranked #5 at the time.
He turned down Kentucky a couple of times and I certainly do not want him back at Florida as long as we have Coach Golden. If he does return I see him at a blue blood program because at his age he may not be interested in building a team from scratch. If Coach Golden leaves UF I suppose Donovan may have some interest but the odds are long that happens.I am glad we have Golden here as he seems to be a great coach to have in the NIL area and is great at finding guys that can elevate your team and he isn't worried about if someone is a big NBA prospect or not.
Speaking of the NBA I wonder if Donovan ever comes back to college as he has had no luck in the NBA. OK City blew that 3-1 lead against Golden State his first season the one year he actually had the players to contend and he hasn't been past the first round of the playoffs since - missing the playoffs every year but one in Chicago and looking like they might miss the playoffs again this year. Coaches can't change things much in the NBA and you aren't winning without the players. If a decent job opens up or Chicago decides to move on I could see him coming back to college soon.

I think he made a horrible decision by leaving the Gators based on where college basketball is today. Had he remained I feel he would be in the $8 to $10 million salary range and had another NCAA title or more. But the lure of the NBA got to him.
Now with that said, DOUBLE THE SALARY OF COACH GOLDEN. Now
As for OKC blowing a 3-1 lead, that was all Kevin Durant. The dumbass singlehandedly lost those last two games with his idiotic ball handling and turnovers. Then he made the b1tch move by signing with GS for an easy path to a title as he could have won it all during Donovan's 1st year.I am glad we have Golden here as he seems to be a great coach to have in the NIL area and is great at finding guys that can elevate your team and he isn't worried about if someone is a big NBA prospect or not.

I know Billy is a gym rat and all, but I could actually see him as our next AD. As long as I'm being delusional, maybe Urban Meyer will be the next AD, fire Napier, then hire himself as our next HC, Barry Alvarez style.He turned down Kentucky a couple of times and I certainly do not want him back at Florida as long as we have Coach Golden.
