The AP whipped up a story on the Bonvicini hire prior to the official announcement, but we waited for the Twitter confirmation before we went with the story.

The talk show guys on the radio said they couldn't recall a more inept performance. It was like WWI trench warfare, with punters.
Looks Like Seattle U Basketball Will Go Division One Again, And Soon
What's the only local college ever to make the NCAA Men's Basketball Final?
