You’re both way too low on ISU and Arizona.
Freezing cold takes
I don’t love the “Tommy Lloyd can’t get it done in March” narrative. Mike Krzyzewski didn’t get to the Final Four until his 6th season, Dean Smith 6th season, Jim Calhoun didn’t get there until his 12th season just with Uconn, Tom Izzo his 4th season, Boeheim his 27th season, I mean Dan Hurley didn’t get there until his 5th season with Uconn. I am certainly not saying Tommy is in the same conversation as any of those guys, but like not many guys just come into a head coaching job in college basketball and just make Final Fours and win National Championships. I know some guys have done it (Wooden, Roy Williams, Bobby Knight if you just take his early tenure at IU and don’t include Army) but I think we need to give Tommy a few more seasons before making that claim.
Cincinnati has never been a stepping stone for college ball. We may not be a premier program, but we’ve done a good job of keeping our best coaches
