Sanogo can hardly speak English. I ask again, where are the academic failure rates?

To be fair , Izzo has only won 1 NC and that was 20 plus years ago . He’s gotten his lunch eaten on the big stage multiple times. He’s also had some horrific losses as a higher seed like losing to Murray state
The vast majority of programs, including ours, would kill for that kind of record. Since 2000 the teams that have won more than one title are UConn/Duke/UNC (all with 3) and Kansas, Florida and Nova (all with 2) - maybe those programs would be exceptions...

Of course he’s a hall of fame coach.

Shooters. Playmakers. Drivers. Scorers. Fast breaks. Urgency. Sheesh. Fun to watch FDU game!!!

Our team needs such a makeover . Hopefully it starts with some fresh talent influx.

You can't go by accent. For example, Cliff's accent can be a bit difficult to understand, but he's obviously a great student. The accents of many international students, whether athletes or not, can be hard to understand, but so many international students do better academically that native-born US students. They are fluent enough in English for where it matters most academically.
