Grass is Greener Edition

With Ron Lewis and Erik Crawford in the NCAA tourney after leaving BG, and Coach Jim Larranaga now in the Sweet 16, Falcon fans have to be wondering about whether there is something to be gained by leaving Anderson Arena.

1968 was the last time we were in the Big Dance, so when you have two transfer players and a coach you ran out of town in the same tourney, you can't help but notice--and your emotions aren't exactly ones you are proud of.

While you're at it, there's a little bit of this in reverse, too. West Virginia is now in its second straight sweet 16 with the Coach they picked after Dan Dakich. They're not looking back, and neither is he (I'm sure), but its starting to look like coaching us is not going to involve the Big Dance for a little while.
