tell me, what did MA do for ISU outside of draw a paycheck and poach a recruit on the way out the door?? I'll just say I'm not upset he's gone.
Abdelmassih and St. Johns down early to St. Thomas Aquinas...

According to this article, he brought us Royce, Kane, McKay, Hogue, and Nader. But you're entitled to your opinion I suppose.

Wow..that's just terrible. Usually in these games when a D1 school loses, it's only by a few...but 32!? Holy ****.
My dad and I were lucky enough to talk to him at a few away games, and he was always really nice and spent some time talking to us. I don't think he's a punk or a bad guy. I was cheering for st. thomas because I generally cheer for the underdog, but I have no problem with Abdelmassih.
Not upset that he went back to his own school and didn't want to work for JP knowing Fred was leaving. I just wish he wouldn't have taken Williams with him. He seen first hand Fred turning around Iowa State, and he wanted to replicate that at his school.

Yeah, that's not cool. Matt was great at ISU and we should all wish for him to be successful at St. John's. He is a great coach and a hell of a guy. I also want to see Chris Mullen do well as a coach. I always liked him as a player.
Do you seriously think they should instantly fire Mullin because of this game? No way.
I have no problems with Matt. I dont think Chris Mullin is fred Hoiberg though. They will probably get good recruits though because of name recognition with Mullin is huge and Matt is a pretty decent recruiter.
The Big East doesn't have the street cred it used to have, even though I really like this league. I still see Xavier, Georgetown, Villanova, and Butler has the top dogs and Providence could be a bubble team for a couple years, and Marquette is going to get a lot better. Wojo is bringing in some good classes up there, and with Bo retiring, kids may lean to Marquette now.
Going to be tough for St. Johns, not sure Mullin gets the job done.
I hope that Marquette, better known as the Iowa State D-League team, brings in better and better talent for us to poach.
can you imagine if Fred lost to Dubuque by 32 on his debut, this thread would literally shut down...
There should be a group of students that aren't even on the team that could do much better than this.
He justified it because Matt and him are best buddies. That's also why you like Jon, because he would always talk about Iowa State as a favor to Matt.
We are so much better off for having Matt not be a part of this program. He did much more harm then good.
