OT: A Hot Young Basketball Coaching Prospect
His name is Andy Bronkema, he's 34 years-old -- and he's led the Ferris State Bulldogs to four straight GLIAC Tournament Championships and a #2 ranking in the country this year in NCAA Division II -- in his five years as their head coach.
His Bulldogs are now 35 - 1 after winning the school's second NCAA Regional Championship in history and a trip this Tuesday to Sioux Falls, SD for the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
In Bronkema's five seasons as head coach -- Ferris State has accomplished this:
- 17/18 Season: 35 - 1
- 16/17 Season: 28 - 5
- 15/16 Season: 24 - 10
- 14/15 Season: 23 - 9
- 13/14 Season: 10 - 16
OT: Ferris State Bulldogs are Regional Champs!
My alma mater -- Ferris State University -- won their second NCAA Regional Championship in school history tonight with an 80 - 65 win over Ashland University!
The win sends the Bulldogs off to Sioux Falls, SD for a NCAA Division II Elite Eight game on Tuesday.
The #2 ranked Ferris State Bulldogs are now 35 - 1 on the season.
GO DAWGS!

2018 NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden
If you're feeling "bullish" about Notre Dame's chances in the National Invitational Tournament -- you might want to look at airfare and hotels to New York City -- here are the dates:
- Semi-Finals -- Tuesday, March 27th
- Finals -- Thursday, March 29th
The first THREE ROUNDS are played on the higher seed's court -- which should mean the Fighting Irish would have to win three "home games" to earn a trip to Madison Square Garden.
We'll know more at 8:30 PM ET on ESPNU
