Florida basketball: 5 potential replacements for embattled Mike White--Fansided
1. Dennis Gates, Cleveland State Head Coach
Gates just finished his second season at Cleveland State, which ended with 19 wins, a Horizon League Tournament title and the third NCAA Tournament berth in school history. Despite the Vikings going just 11-21 in his first season, Gates won Horizon League Coach of the Year (as he also did this year).
Prior to taking his first head coaching job, the 41-year old Gates worked as an assistant under Leonard Hamilton at Florida State from 2011-2019. If the Gators make a coaching change, Gates has to be high on the list of candidates to replace White.

24. A.J. Bramah, 6-7 forward, junior, Robert Morris
In 2019-20, Bramah was the best player on a Robert Morris team that won the NEC tournament and was set to return to the NCAA Tournament if not for the cancellation of the season. Then in 2020-21, he came back for his sophomore season and averaged 21 points and 10.3 rebounds in a tougher conference after the Colonials moved up to the Horizon League. He decided to leave in February, though, and looks like he’ll be looking more at the high mid-major level this year, as his final three are Nevada, St. Bonaventure and Western Kentucky. He’d star at all three of those places.

Trio of upsets mark 2nd day of women’s NCAA Tournament--Associated Press
After an opening day of top seeds holding serve, the women’s NCAA Tournament became a little less predictable Monday as double-digit seeds BYU, Belmont and Wright State advanced.
Wright State, the Horizon League Tournament champions, figured to have little chance against offensive juggernaut Arkansas, which averaged 83 points a game to lead the Southeastern Conference. The Razorbacks also had dynamic star Chelsea Dungee and had defeated UConn and Baylor this season on the way to the NCAAs.
Yet, the Raiders were not intimidated.
Wright State took an early lead and then rallied after Arkansas went in front in the final minutes. Angel Baker’s 3-pointer with 29.1 seconds gave Wright State the lead for good as a 13th seed won a tournament game for the first time since 2012.
It was also Wright State’s first ever NCAA win in three trips to the tournament. The Raiders will play No. 4 seed Missouri State in the next round after the biggest upset of the first two days of the tournament.
“We stepped up to the challenge,” Baker said.
