How does one NIT First Round game affect LSU’s basketball team? See this. What was the game, you ask?
Anthony Grant, the VCU Ram head coach, the leading candidate according to such august publications as the LA Times, has repeatedly said that he won’t talk to anyone until his season is over. Well, now his season is over. Will he talk to LSU? Probably. Will we here about it? Maybe. Would he be a good hire? I think so.
Does Mike Davis’ win in this game give him an edge in the LSU coaching race? I don’t know. It would be easy, I think, for the LSU administrators (read: Skip Bertman) to fall in love with LSU hiring a Billy Donovan disciple and discount Davis on that basis.
It would also be easy, I think, for Martin son-of-C.M. Newton to influence LSU in the direction of UAB’s Davis.
Bottom line? I have no idea where this is going. But the LSU-Newton-Davis connections are hard to ignore. So is the fact that the news media and Dandydon are both saying that Grant is the leading candidate.
