"We (coaches) are all competitive, and we're all trying to win, but I don't think anybody in our league could ever say a bad word about Dave, and I think people would be very happy for him if he did make it," Nash said.
Bike's loyalty to the Sacred Heart program is something few can challenge. Bike has seen the program during its best times and its worst. Although Bike said he doesn't think a lot about making it to the big dance and winning the conference, that does not mean Bike wouldn't like to add one piece to his resume.
"I've been going to the Final Four for 30 years now," Bike said. "The thing that I dream about is when you get to the championship games, the finals, the semifinals, they have the banners of the schools that participated in the tournament. That's something I would like to see, Sacred Heart's name up there one of these days."
Game of the week
No. 4 Kansas at No. 12 Texas
Monday, 9:00, ESPN
Despite losing the national player of the year last season, Kevin Durant, Texas has returned as one of the top teams in college basketball team. Texas head coach Rick Barnes is one of the most underrated coaches in the nation. On the other hand, Kansas is in the conversation as the best team in the nation. The Jayhawks know how to score, and they do it early and often.
Although Kansas is the better team on paper and in the standings, Texas is the type of team that can pull the upset. Home court goes a long way in games of big magnitude, and this game is no exception.
Texas 87, Kansas 84
