Illinois State head coach Dan Muller’s Redbirds shared the MVC regular season title with Wichita State, which went on to wreck ISU in the MVC tournament title game, 70-50. Illinois State did earn a No. 1 seed in this year’s NIT for their troubles, though, but none of that information is the reason why we’re here.
On Monday, Muller started planning his program’s future and logged onto Twitter to put out a call for a home-and-home opponent during next season. You can’t help but admire the mid-major coach’s gumption, especially so since the self-deprecation, use of a bitmoji, and truth value — ISU would definitely constitute a quality road win — come together for a perfect coaching tweet.
