I just saw Ohio State lost at home as a #3 seed to #11 Central Michigan in the Women's Tournament. In four years with the second-leading scorer in NCAA history (Kelsey Mitchell), OSU never made it past the Sweet Sixteen. Awfully similar to the Harris-Phillips years here.

Were Harris and Phillips not on the team that was one missed layup away from the Final Four?

In any event, maybe Ohio State will fire him and he can make his triumphant return to Xavier!

Yes they were, I remember watching that and being so sad/frustrated for them. Same girl missed TWO layups that would have sealed it.

2010 I believe.

Yes, but that group won only one other NCAA tournament game in five years (Harris was a year older than Phillips, but missed one season due to injury). Most of those years they lost as the better seed.

McGuff. Great recruiter, lousy game coach. dayton’s guy used to coach rings around him.

In light of the current status of Xavier women's team, I sure wish McGuff was still here.

You're thinking of Jim Jabir. Dayton actually had their best years shortly after McGuff left Xavier for the Washington job.

As frustrating as postseason was with him at times, it's a much better situation compared to where it is now.

Yep. That pretty much sums him up. Also, when Kelsey Mitchell committed to OSU, McGuff hired her dad as an assistant. Shady to say the least.

Interesting, did not know that. The optics of that looks horrible. Very sketchy.

As a Mizzou fan, I see nothing wrong with this.....

When Pete Gillen tried to hire Bob Hurley away from St. Anthony's, I'm sure Pete never even dreamed, never IMAGINED that maybe one or two of his sons might also want to come to Xavier and play for dad. Surely never crossed Pete's mind! :)
