#10 Iowa Stae visiting #3 Houston tonight @ 7 pm on ESPN.
Must watch for us Hoop fans.
I don't profess to know what kind of NIL the Cyclones have (and they do have nice facilities) but man, they have one helluva team coached by TJ Otzelberger.
TJ had a good run at South Dakota State (2 NCAA births in 3 years) then was sub 500 in 3 years at UNLV but Iowa State hired him anyway (he was an Iowa State AC prior). So far, in this his 3rd year at Iowa State he has amassed a 61-53 record and 2 trips to the Big Dance including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2021-22.
As a few of us have been saying, you just have to know what to look for in a HC if you choose to move in another direction.
Oh, and as side note he makes $1.5/year, which I am sure will be bumped up substantually, and soon I suspect.
Edit: I would like to add here that Iowa State has amazing fan and administration support. They have been ranked as high as #4 so yes, they are a better basketball school than we have ever been. But still...
Enjoy the game.
