The Coaching Career of Marc Lewis (ch2k7-360)

[BubbleFour]

Houston, TX - Texas Southern University is pleased to announce the hiring of Marc Lewis as their next head basketball coach. Lewis had a steady career as a player for the Creighton Blue Jays prior to being drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2nd round of the NBA draft. After failing to make the grade in the pro ranks, Lewis returned to Creighton and served as an assistant under Dana Altman for three years before earning the opportunity to lead his own team.

Tuscaloosa, AL - Trailing by eight points (73-65) with 1 minute to play, Courtenay Brown delivered 2 clutch 3 pt shots to narrow the deficit. With only 20 seconds remaining and the Tigers having the ball, 'Bama coach Gottfried showed a 1-2-2 zone for the first time in the game. Tiger PG Dominique White recognized the defense and worked for an open 3-pt shot in the corner , leading Texas Southern to a thrilling upset victory.

Re: The Coaching Career of Marc Lewis (ch2k7-360)

I don't care how bad the team may be, any win over a BCS (power) conference team is a great win for a small school.

You are off to a good start with these Tigers. Good luck with that out of conference schedule before the SWAC schedule.

Thanks! Baylor started off well, defeating Colorado St and #18 Gonzaga in the first two rounds of the preseason NIT. After losing to the Tigers, Baylor went on to lose the NIT semi-final to #3 North Carolina.

Texas Southern (3-1) @Texas (2-1)

Austin, TX - These two schools are linked historically. At the same time that Jackie Robinson was integrating baseball and the U.S. Army was integrating itself, the University of Texas went down another path when faced with the prospect of allowing members of another race into its law school. Hence, Texas Southern University came into existence (according to Wikipedia).

Storrs, CT - For the second game in a row, the Tigers were overmatched on the home court of a national title contender. "Playing these high-quality opponents on the road is just the reality of being in the SWAC.
