BenFred: Martin would make sense for Tigers or Illini

First things first.

It's pronounced: "KAHN-zo"

Rhymes with Gonzo.

Mentions of the name seem to be occurring more often as the area's depressing college basketball season nears its final stage, March Sadness. Missouri and Illinois fans should be wishing the whispers of their team potentially making a run at the man turn out to be more than empty chatter. Two once-proud programs in need of an overhaul, and the same coach belongs at the top of both hot boards: Cuonzo Martin.

If the Tigers and Illini can find a better realistic candidate than California's coach, I'll listen.
