So, who succeeds Fisch? Though ther have been some high points in the program’s history, the place is known much more for hoops. It is off to the Big 12 next season, and if this roster stays in tact, the Cats could have the chance to compete for a league title. But the school is also amid a financial crisis, which might explain how Fisch was available to be hired away to begin with.
