I still think Missouri makes a lot more sense for the Big Ten.

Completely uninformed thread starter notwithstanding, as a lifelong St. John's fan, I'm psyched about this hire. Is he Pitino or Donovan - the original targets of AD Chris Monasch's search? No, but Lavin absolutely knows how to recruit, and is reported to be bringing in a veritable dream team of assistants to his staff. Any coach with a modicum of credibility could have taken this team to the NCAA tournament this year. With nine seniors and new management, there is absolutely zero reason why St. John's can't make the tournament in 2011.

Hasn't Iowa State been part of the whole Big 8/Big 12/SWAC crew a lot longer than Missouri? Seems like Missouri-Illinois and Missouri-Iowa would be a lot better annual meeting than anything Iowa State brings to the table.
