Moser’s Ramblers are playing Saturday in the Final Four in the Alamodome, just as Rick Majerus’ Utah Utes did 20 years ago. Moser worked as an assistant to Majerus for four years at Saint Louis University, reviving his coaching career and learning a lot about basketball.
That history with Majerus and current Jazz assistant coach Alex Jensen, a key player for the 1998 Utes and a SLU assistant alongside Moser, creates a Utah connection to Loyola. Moser said this week that he wished he could have tapped into Majerus’ experience about playing on this stage, as he sought advice from Jensen and other coaches about how to deal with everything that the Final Four entails.
