Blessing in Disguise

[Drew's Crew]

Before I begin this thread, I want to be sure not to downplay the seriousness of Ed's injury on Thursday and feel far more comfortable knowing that he should be ok - both in the short term and long term. The thread title refers to learning to play without him, not the injury itself. Prayers to Ed and his family and I'm beyond elated he will be ok. He has a Final Four and an NBA career to think about!

After Ed went down and we began to get summarily overwhelmed by Villanova's pressure D and Archi's lights out shooting, I wasn't quite sure what to think. I wasn't surprised we were getting beat, but was bummed by the lack of response. I refuse to blame our poor game on lack of effort, I think that that is the easy/lazy/typical fan thing to do. The guys were trying...in fact, many of them were trying too hard, making silly turnovers, or fouls out of frustration. Nova was feeling it and we had our heads in the clouds (somewhat understandably).

Coming into this game, I was anxious to see how we would respond, emotionally, tactically, executionally(?) - fully aware that's not the correct word, bear with me, you know what I mean.

After two days to adapt to Ed being gone, the offense was significantly better. Mack put pressure on Remy to drive, and especially to feed the ball down low. I was hoping that CMack would recognize our advantage down low and he obviously did before the tip, starting both Farr and Reynolds. We absolutely overwhelmed them on the boards and wore them down in the paint defensively. We obviously came up with an effective game plan and executed it like we needed to.

But to me, this game meant significantly more than a win over a top ten team (it sounds crazy to say that out loud...shows how far we have come as a program). As I was hanging out with all my non-Xavier/MD Terps friends, I really struggled to explain the loss. Few of them were believers in X as a real NC contender prior to the game and I sounded silly saying that a Frosh PG getting hurt is what made us lose by 31 to a team that can't make the Sweet Sixteen. Seriously, I felt stupid as I was saying it.

These guys are fans of a team with multiple McDs AAs. They are the general public. They are typical of why XU is underrated year in and year out. These conversations not only made me feel a bit indignant, but also forced me to reflect on this team. The last two games we had gotten down by 18 to a bubble team and blown out by 31. Not exactly what you would like to see from a NC contender.

But today changed all that. The guys get it.

Today was a domination. We outshot, outhustled, and outplayed a really good team. Do we match up with them well? Yeah. Our athleticism and size (especially down low) was overwhelming for them. But today, we spread the ball around, made the extra pass, played lock down defense and REBOUNDED LIKE CHAMPS. That is the key to ALL of our success. And if we keep playing with the intensity we played with today, we can go far.

But more than everything, we did it without Ed. We fed the ball in the post, encouraging Farr and Reynolds in the process. Their confidence was sky high and for good reason. We made the extra pass and while we had our share of turnovers, LAJ and Myles protecting possession significantly better. We dominated them.

We're the real deal. Without Ed.

I can't wait until he's back.

YOU HATE ED!

Sorry, I'll read beyond the first sentance now.

Wonderful post. We do match up really well against Butler.

[muethibp]

Remember when you called a teenager's very scary and very serious head injury a "blessing"? Remember? If not, it's in the thread subject and the original post.

The crazy thing is, I think we can match up well agaisnt any kind of team now.

No. He did call it a blessing. It says so right there in the thread title.

(That would be different.)

[xudash]

No. He did call it a blessing. It says so right there in the thread title.

So perhaps we consider the concept of CONTEXT. Drew's Crew wrote a sincere post with some good thoughts about the team being able to function at a high level without Edmund.

Nobody - NO ONE - associated with Xavier, including Drew's Crew, and anyone with a heart who is aware of what happened in Philly is taking Edmund's injury in a less than serious manner. Everyone who has a clue is hoping for a full recovery for his own well being first and foremost. From there, we hope he can then continue to fulfill his dream of becoming a great basketball player.

[bleedXblue]

Did you actually read his post? At all? Because his entire first paragraph negates your point. And since I think you can read, I'll just chalk it up to trolling. Which, my friend, is pathetic.

I've been lurking these boards the last couple of games due to a lack of access to cable with which to watch live. As expected, I've encountered plenty of obnoxious and immature comments. It hasn't been until these attention-hungry and sophomoric derailings from "MUETHIBP," however, that I've felt so inclined as to respond. The OP has taken the time to contribute to this forum with a thoughtful and well-elaborated opinion. He was respectful to Sumner and did his best to qualify his title and thesis.

As a Xavier alumnus, it saddens me to see someone like "MUETHIBP" acting in such a disrespectful and immature way, especially to the detriment of what could be a friendly and productive arena of public discourse concerning an incredible basketball program about which we are all passionate. You had every opportunity to challenge the OP's remarks, and perhaps call for greater sensitivity in the matter, without doing so in such a trolling, unnecessary way. Because of people like you, I probably won't stick around, but perhaps this will help you reevaluate how you're choosing to represent yourself.

Don't let this clown run you off, unfortunately, every team has this type of "fan" and we have a handful, put them on mute and move on.

[XfansinKy]

Awesome post! Awesome title for those of us whe read the entire piece. I'm really happy Ed's ok too. My uneducated guess is if he misses a couple weeks and comes back for the Marquette game, he's going to be fine short and long term. The biggest takeaway I get from that game other than Remy woke up big time, is our own "Twin Towers" along with Tre, make up the best frontcourt in college basketball. Both guys are huge and when Tre's game is on, he scores in about ten different ways. Tre is such a good scorer by the way he uses so many opportunities to get baskets. With Tre being on his opportunistic scoring game, Jalen and Farr controlling the paint without clogging it on offense, and add Ed, Myles, JP, Remy, Sean, big Kaiser, and I also believe Larry Jr is gonna improve into an excellent backup, we can/will beat anybody in the country.

Wow, overreact much? "attention hungry and sophomoric derailings"? "disrespectful and immature"? "trolling, unnecessary"? Really pot, that's what you're calling the kettle? For a guy with one post you sure did hop up on your high horse pretty quickly. I'm sure your admonitions are appreciated as you help Meuthibp reevaluate how he represents himself.

Meuthibp has been part of this board for 8 years and has a solid track record. He's not a dick or a clown as some of you have chosen to call him. Obviously Drew's Crew didn't mean to say that the team is blessed that Ed cracked his melon, but I don't disagree with Meuthibp that perhaps there was a better choice of words. Silver lining maybe? Anyway. Good post, Drew's Crew. Good point, Meuthibp. Good riddance, username.

Liked what we saw from Austin but I'm not exactly doing cartwheels over how we can play without Ed. Butler didn't have the athleticism in the backcourt to pressure us much, and we still turned the ball over more than we should've. This was a good matchup for an Ed-less team, but given how thin our backcourt is, we can't really afford to lose him for more than a few games (hoping he's back by end of month at Providence).

I agree that BU was a great matchup for LAJ and Myles. More athletic guards will give us big problems without Ed.

More than anything else though this game meant two things to me:

1. The guys regained confidence in themselves and their teammates, which I though was critically important following their last two games and with a rough BE schedule ahead of them.

2. Jalen staying out of foul trouble TOTALLY changes the game for XU. Being able to play both he and Farr extensively changes the dynamic to our lineup and creates really difficult problems for our opponent offensively. Of course all of this depends on matchups and whether Jalen and Jimmy don't defend smaller, quicker players who could take advantage of their limitations.

[XfansinKy]

Something I didn't realize until I isolated on Gates a little is how fast he kinda glides up n down the court. His jump shot fundamentals are so tight, it's doubtful he will ever get in a long slump when the time comes for him to play a lot of minutes. I heard he had a huge vertical leap, but more importantly(my opinion) is being a quick jumper, which I noticed he is. I'm really excited about him. His first off season in the weight room and eating right will have him being a huge factor going forward.

[BMoreX]

Excellent post as always Chris. Don't let others get in the way of that.

I was most impressed with Austin, albeit against a good matchup for him. At the very least this game gives him confidence. We also get some really solid minutes from O'Mara and Gates, which is nothing but a positive.

[Muskeagle]

What I think WAS a blessing in disguise, was a 31 one point beat down at this point in the year--especially the way it happened. Just in case the boys were getting a little complacent, 'Nova comes out and dismantles them. I agree that the loss was "understandable" given the injury to Edmond. I think those of you questioning the team's toughness, are silly. Even the gripes about them not rebounding well (there have to have to be missed shots to get rebounds....and there weren't a lot of those on the defensive end during that game), are ridiculous. 'Nova is a good/great team who will win a ton of games. They went out to Omaha and beat a decent Creighton team at a tough place to play...but there is no doubt they are MUCH better at home. They have their best shooting day on a day when our guys got stunned in the first minutes of the game by a VERY scary situation. Game over. Our guys know why...but the world jumps off the band wagon.

This loss is a blessing in disguise because of the way it will bring the team together even more. Just in case they needed it.... a new fire has been lit under their A$$e$ and it will help them in the long run. The margin doesn't matter to the RPI, but it will matter to them. 'Nova just took a close team...and made them closer. A tight team, and made them tighter. That, I think, is the blessing in disguise.

NOTE: this post in not in contradiction to the original post. I got what you meant, and I agree with what you were saying.

[Caveat]

This thread took an odd turn.

The original point is well made, though -- at the game, you could see Myles and Remy stepping up and showing leadership on the court. This is a true team right now, and no one player is in such a dominant role that losing him (be it to to injury, foul trouble, or a cold spell) will break things down. And now you can add Remy to this list of players who have demonstrated the ability to step up and carry the mail offsensively if needed.

[xukeith]

Understand MUETHIBP's post.
It is a point that all philoshophers and theologians ponder. Why do bad things happen to good people?
There is a reason for it. Good things come out of bad things.
Glass is half full.

Gates has a lot more confidence due to Sumner's injury(illness). Maybe that is a blessing come March with a healthy Ed in 2 weeks?

[Fireball]

I don't think that losing any one player on this team would significantly detract from this team, and I think yesterday was very good evidence of that. With or without Sumner, this is a very good team. One thing that has been talked about through the season is Xavier's depth, and sure enough, they came out and dispatched the #9 team in the country fairly easily without their starting point guard and a very important piece to the team.

[X-Fan]

What's funny is that Drew went out of his way to fully explain he wasn't referring to Ed getting hurt, but the positives that could result because of it. And like we see in society today, you have people going out of their way to take offense. Just incredible.

Anyway, I made a similar but less than 140 character statement on Twitter after the game yesterday. As we saw in the Wake game, Ed was the catalyst behind that comeback. He was becoming the only person on the team willing to drive to the hole, and the offense was becoming very perimeter oriented when he was not in the game. As soon as Ed got hurt, the Nova game was over. No team recovers from that type of injury on the road. So now this team has to reassess their roles with Ed out. They have to reassess how they can contribute. There will be growing pains, al la higher turnovers, but in the end the team will benefit from having to play at a high level without Ed.

All that said, add a healthy Ed back to this team, and WATCH OUT (again). The turnovers are pretty fixable IMO. It's not like all the TO's are coming from the PG position. They are bad passes to/from the post, sloppy passes around the perimeter, guys driving into the defense and not being able to recover. Nova sped Xavier up and caused a number of turnovers. I guarantee Coach Mack pointed that out, and they will work on showing more poise when put in those positions in the future.

The combination of the injuries to Ed and London have given Gates and Sean fantastic opportunities to play more. Both have responded well and are showing that they can be counted on in the future. That is HUGE for this team and program!

I have been really impressed with the adjustments Coach Mack has made this year. From the decision to bring Farr off the bench, to working in the new guys, he seems to have a really good feel for this team. Looking forward to seeing the guys continue to improve!

Go X!!!!

[Muskeagle]

agree 100% (w/XFan)

[Backyard Champ]

Really don't care about the title of the thread.

After getting that out of the way, I was impressed with how the team played. I did think we would get the win going into the game, but didn't think it would be in that fashion. My biggest take away is how we played defensively. Butler is really good offensively, and we did a great job IMO.

Butler is awful on defense, so I'm not sure how much this result will tell us about our offense going forward.

[Drew's Crew]

I appreciate those that understood what I meant in the thread title and came to my defense, but honestly could we just not reference it anymore? I feel like it takes away from actually talking basketball and give the troll exactly what he wanted by acting all butt hurt over pedantic silliness....

That being said, I think that the matchup that shows the difference between this years team and last more than anything was Farr/Reynolds on Chrabasz (I know I probably misspelled his name but I don't give enough shits about him to look it up).

AC tore us up last year and I couldn't believe how effective he was against us - mostly bc I didn't think he was really that good. His success against us last year compared to his struggles this year show the vast difference between the defensive abilities of our Center position last year and this year. I love Stain and am very grateful for what he did for us, but his lack of speed coupled Dee's height in the backcourt were hugely limiting defensive factors last year.

Farr and Reynolds made AC their bitch and Butler couldn't get anything going in the paint. And that doesn't even factor in how we got seemingly every crucial rebound.

We are much more poised to lock down athletic teams this year than last, and that maybe more than anything is why I think we will win the BE.
