The Huskies made NCAA Tournament appearances in 1982, '91 and '96. That's about it for any sort of tradition in the past 50 years. I've lost count of ...

Yes, and the competition level is one of the reasons I think he could have a significant and possibly immediate impact. SIU's other fall signing also ...
