2052-53 SEASON PREVIEW
Since it’s Sue’s last year, we’ve managed to get games on the road at everywhere she’s coached. Interesting note, when she started at TAMU-CC, their prestige was barely 10. Now? It’s in the 40s. What a difference a few years makes!
We even setup a Bracketbusters game in January at UW-Green Bay, where Sue takes on her alma mater.
So while the schedule will be tough, when you include the rematch of the national title game we scheduled with Indiana State, it should give a good assessment of who we are by the time we reach conference play. The team should be better this year, there’s a lot more depth than we had last year running with a skeleton crew, but with no seniors, this team is in prime condition to run together and learn together; not to mention will be very easy to sell to a new coach who won’t have to make many tweaks to the program.

The debate in Portland is whether to hire one of the young assistants in a "head coach in waiting" scenario, which Sue Muldowney favors or hiring someone from the legions of coaches who'd want to take over a Top 5 program.
It'll be a debate the athletic department will mull most of the year, because it'll be hard to know until the post-season ends whether or not, who might be available and what kind of program they're taking over. A lot easier to inherit the national champs over a team that everyone expects to win.
