Wow, does the Grim Reaper coach for the Mustangs (deja vu all over again, huh)... it sure seems that ol' Larry Brown may be death-to-a-program personified as he got KU put on probation after their '88 Danny & the Miracles season before he bolted and UCLA was a hot mess due to Next Town Brown, which is likely a reason he coached in the pros for the majority of his career.

So, Boeheim & Brown will be able to compare notes for roughly the first 1/3 of the season...

Oh wow...

 

And just to piggy-back off of Aurora's link, here's the summary for the lazy (myself included):

Hey, they were the first ones to ten!  And that wasn't even by twos.  Or make-it, take-it.
