Game Thread: Xavier v. Eastern Kentucky (11/30/2020)

[MADXSTER]

He had a couple of mistakes, no question. I'd sign up for that Carter game all day though. Seems easy for anyone to say- but when you don't like a player his flaws jump out. Carter won the game for X yesterday and has been huge with his rebounding the first 4 games.

He's also had a couple of timely blocks

[Jumpin_Jamal_Forever]

In Steele's press conference today to talk about tomorrow's game vs. Tenn. Tech, Coach Steele said that Odom was instructed to make that very foul. Steele chalked up Odom's failure to so do to a "freshman mistake".

I thought the comment about fouling from paulxu addressed the inbounds situation at the end of O.T. I think that was the play Steele refers to when he said he instructed Odom to foul. If his comment referred to the inbound at the end of regulation, I do not know what Steele (if anything) Steele instructed his team to do in regard to fouling.

Steele said he told the team not to because it was difficult to defend under the basket with a catch and shoot scenario likely to happen.

Well at the end of OT it kind of looked like they tried to foul, but just didn't get it when the guy split to take it up court, but I haven't seen a replay since last night.

Miller through 71 games: 45-26 (.634) - 11 "A" Kenpom games and 18 "B" Kenpom games.
Steele through 71 games: 42-29 (.592) - 23 "A" Kenpom games and 21 "B" Kenpom games.

2005: 17-12 (10-6, T4 in A-10, T2 in A-10 West), no postseason, final Kenpom: 81
2006: 21-11 (8-8, T7 in A-10), 14 seed in NCAAT (R1 loss to Gonzaga) after winning 4 games in 4 days in A-10 Tournament, final Kenpom: 54
2007: 7-3 start

2019: 19-16 (9-9, T3 in Big East), 3 seed in NIT (R2 OT loss at Texas), final Kenpom: 65
2020: 19-13 (8-10, T6 in Big East), no postseason (were squarely on the bubble and straddling cut line), final Kenpom: 45
2021: 4-0 start

Miller and Steele had fairly comparable circumstances as well. Both were promoted from Associate Head Coach. Both lost a lot from the previous year (Sato, Chalmers, and Myles and Bluiett, Macura, Kanter, O'Mara, and Gates). Steele has almost the same record as Miller through the same number of games despite facing a much tougher schedule.

I'm not saying Steele will be as successful as Miller (Miller went 75-21, .781, in his last 96 games). I'm still not sold on Steele. This year need to see some progress. But I'm also not sold that Steele is not the guy. Fair to criticize Steele for certain things but I can't judge whether he is a good coach or not yet.

Thanks for the numbers, not surprising honestly. Looking forward to see how this year plays out.

[MADXSTER]

Unpopular Opinion - Steele overachieved in his first two seasons with the roster he had. However, still think he has a ways to go with his in-game coaching. Also people forget he brought in all new coaches.

I'm not making a judgement one way or the other, but it's hard to compare Miller and Steele against each other. They are two totally different situations.

Yes, Steele has played a lot tougher schedules, but he's also had WAY more talent. Look at the rosters of Miller's first two teams! There's not one kid who would be recruited by Xavier today. It's impressive that Miller developed a lot of those 2 star and 3 star guys into the 2008 team that culminated in arguably Xavier's best team ever. We're talking about guys like Hammertime, BJ Raymond, Jason Love, CJ Anderson (local kid who went to Manhattan out of HS). None of those guys would get a sniff from Xavier today.

Miller's third year he came within a stupid freakin' call by a stupid ref of knocking off a GREAT OSU team loaded with future NBA guys. Doellman, Cage, Brandon Cole, redshirt freshman Derrick Brown, etc. Maybe Josh Duncan and Cage get offered by Xavier, but no way Steele offers those other guys today.

There's just no comparing the talent Steele is pulling in today.

One thing Sean's teams could do was shoot. They made FT's and could knock down the three ball.

[MADXSTER]

The best coach in the history of the game could not have helped the last two seasons team shoot the three ball better. You're correct, you can't compare the two the way you are comparing them. Also, how about we see what Steele can do with his own team. Plus Doellman was a two time MVP and the highest paid player in all of Europe for at least three years.

[X Factor]

Plus Doellman was a two time MVP and the highest paid player in all of Europe for at least three years.

And he was an unranked 2 or 3 star recruit in HS who wouldn't get a recruiting letter, let alone scholarship offer, if he were in HS today.

He turned into a very good college player over four years. I think coaching had a lot to do with that.

This is Steele's team now. He has his guys. I like Travis, but its time to start seeing those improvements.

It's all relative though. The talent may have been less, what Sean had, but it was on par at least, if not better, for the league we played in at the time. So really you can compare the two just fine.

Lets see what happens this year because again, the beginning of Miller's 3rd year you heard a lot of the same things about Miller that you are hearing about Steele now.

[xavierj]

I don’t know. With AAU today I would imagine Doellman would have been heavily recruited and higher ranked. Guy was 6’9” in high school with a smooth stroke and skill. Was overlooked because he played in NKY. Same with Derrick Brown as far as how kids are recruited today. Also with transfers CJ definitely would have been a take. A lot of the guys Xavier has recruited lately are guys that were under the radar and then blew up. When Sean took over not as many guys blew up after being identified because they didn’t have the channels to get noticed like they do now. With how big aau is and how everything is done through things line twitter to get your name out there, it is harder to get overlooked. Also Miles was not a highly ranked player either and Travis offered him.

[XUGRAD80]

People get to hung up on stars and rankings of high school players when judging how good a recruit may be, or how good a roster is. The only thing that really matters is....Can they play? Who even heard of Obi Harris coming out of HS? He was a total unknown. What about the kid from Murray State a couple of years ago? Nobody knew of him until his senior year in college. Kunkel was a 2* player out of NKY before he became a scorer at Belmont. As was pointed out, Miles was hardly known because he didn’t play AAU ball. On the other hand, Bishop, Kennedy, and some of the other recruits that X had in Steele’s 1st-2nd years had 3-4* (depending on what recruiting service you look at) and really haven’t panned out. There are innumerable cases of 4-5* players coming out of HS that never had much of an impact in college, for one reason or another. And there are hundreds/thousands of examples where unknown and unranked players became either stars or at least very good college players. Good recruiters find talent. Good recruiters are also good evaluators of players. Good coaches develop that talent. Hardly any HS player comes into college and is ready to compete from day 1. Most have an adjustment period and have to learn how to compete at the college level. How to play hard ALL of the time, and not just when they have the ball in their hands. Some never learn it. They aren’t just a “could have been”, they are a “never was”.
From the looks of Odom, Free, Tandy, Johnson, and some of the past Xavier players that Steele helped recruit, he can identify and recruit talented players. The development part is still open to question, but from what I’ve seen from Zack and KyKy this year, I think he can. What’s left is ....Can he develop all this talent into a TEAM? Miller could and did.....against A10 competition mostly. He hasn’t been quite as successful at Arizona, even though he has gotten (on paper at least) better recruits there than he had at X.
I think that the comparison is justified. I don’t think that you can just compare the levels of success without also taking into consideration the levels of completion. You should also take into consideration that if X was still playing in the A10, some of the players on its roster wouldn’t have come to X. Bottom line is that you can “if” and “but” this whole thing to death and still never prove anything one way or the other.

[Lloyd Braun]

An Obi Harris reference, wow! That must be a brain fart.

People focus on recruiting rankings because they are generally better players. To win a national Championship and get to the final four regularly you need 4-5* players. 3* players aren’t going to cut it. Obviously there are diamonds in the rough and guys that don’t live up to hype but I’ll take my chances with 4-5* players 10/10 times.

[murray87]

I was at the game last night. It ain't much of a home crowd.

So what's it like inside Cintas right now? Can you roam around and sit wherever you want? Any food and beverage available? (I feel bad for all the fundraising groups probably missing a lot of $$$ due to no or very few fans at sporting events). Can you take your mask down to berate the officials properly?? I sure do miss being part of a big crowd for a big time game.

[XUGRAD80]

Well of course everyone wants to recruit the best players they can, and generally the rankings are fairly accurate, but they certainly are not a guarantee. That’s not the point. The point was made that many of the players on the roster during Miller’s time would not be on the roster now, so Steele has better players than Miller did. My point is, that’s not necessarily true. Miller had players that could play, no matter what their recruiting ranks. Don’t get too hung up on what the recruiting ranks where when comparing players from different eras. The real question is if they could play. When the Miller players played against teams with higher ranked players, they were able to compete with them, often quite successfully. Rankings are not everything.


Brain fart indeed.....Obi Tobbin not Harris

Josh Duncan, and Cage were all 4 star top 100 players and Drew Lavender was a McDonalds all American. That team had some talent. Dante Jackson was also a 4 star top 100 player but he came the year after the Ohio State debacle.

[drudy23]

I don't know if I buy the "we're getting much better players now" argument completely. I think today's players are different, not necessarily better. Outside of the 5 stars, which we rarely get, recruiting rankings are relatively meaningless. The difference between a 2-4 over the course of a college career are relatively small. If anything, it shows how impressive Xavier has been with developing talent.

The jump from 4 star to 5 star is usually significant. It's why the programs that consistently get the 5 stars are always the cream of the crop year in and year out.

Sean's first team had 3 RSCI Top 100 recruits (Dedrick Finn - 95, Keith Jackson - 52, Churchill Odia - 56). Justin Cage and Josh Duncan were both four star Top 100 recruits. Compare to Steele's first team. Also 3 RSCI Top 100 recruits (Marshall - 57, Scruggs - 29, Goodin - 77). Also had Tyrique Jones who was a four star just outside the Top 100. Pretty comparable talent imo.

Doellman wasn't a highly rated recruit, but his skillset would be perfectly suited to the game today. Brown was ranked just outside the Top 100 and had offers from Michigan State, NC State, and Wake Forest. Miller also got Lavender who was a McDonald's All-American. I would agree that guys like Burrell, Love, Raymond, Cole, and Anderson likely wouldn't be recruited to Xavier today. They all turned into really nice players. Credit to Sean and staff for that. We haven't really seen if Steele can develop his HS recruits into great players. Enough time hasn't gone by to evaluate that yet. Freemantle has taken a big jump this year so far.

Miller is my favorite Xavier coach ever. My overall point here is that Miller started out shaky and many weren't sold on him until at least midway through his third year. A lot of people weren't sold on Mack until deep into his 6th season. Not trying to make excuses for Travis but many are out on him when I think it's too early to tell. He hasn't proven anything yet, but I think it's ludicrous to already be writing him off already.

[XU 87]

Churchill Odia may have been a top 100 recruit, but he probably should have been ranked about 250-300. He wasn't very good.

[94GRAD]

[Strange Brew]

So, what happened to Live Chat?

[Muskeagle]

Doellman was a stud from the get-go. He started 28 of 37 games as a freshman. Yes, he improved, but that guy was smooth and multi talented from day one. So, yeah...coaching helped him improve, but that's a guy that got lost in the High School ranking system and was "found" by Miller. No telling that he wouldn't be highly ranked today or not. Regardless, that guy was great from the day he got on campus.

As frustrated as we many are....when has Steele had time to make adjustments at this point? 3 games in 3 days. 2 days off...I imagine 1 for recovery, and then go take a team and get them ready for a totally different style. Not easy. Look, criticisms are fine. I get it, they haven't looked great since game 1.

But, I'm still in the wait-and-see camp.

Also, I disagree with many who are saying...."looks like last year." The shooting, at times, has looked like last year, but 4 games does not a season make. 4 games in 6 days, with just 7.5 players, is also asking a lot. And while not world beating teams....4 different styles to be sure. Moreover, he is not "slowing" them down and calling plays 75% of the possessions. He has kept them moving, quickly and relatively free form. They haven't figured it out yet, but the offense IS different. He's letting them do what he wanted them to do. The shots haven't fallen like we want. But, it is NOT Naji 2.0 ball. A few times Scruggs has kept it and dominated, but for the most part, they are moving the ball, finding open men and playing differently than last year.

The team IS changing and I think for the better. Steele is the architect of Mack's offense....and he didn't forget how to coach offense. He adapted to what he had, and is molding a team to look more like the one at the end of Mack's run than the last two years. I think he'll get there, but the process has begun and the change is happening.

Good points. I agree with most. I also think being in the Big East exposes early struggles a lot more than being in the A-10 did. You have tougher games throughout the season, which are more opportunities to lose. It should translate to a team that is better prepared for the tournament (which you could potentially argue it hasn't for Xavier, but that's another topic).

[Xville]

In somewhat good news I think, the Big East looks to be pretty average at this point, outside of Nova and Creighton. I honestly would not be surprised if X finishes third...for the record though i wouldn't be surprised to see X finish as low as 9th either lol

yeah don't think it is a "vintage" great nova team, but as you said better than Xavier at this point. At this point though, Gonzaga looks to be the only team able to play basketball. The two Champions Classic games were pathetic last night.

Very much agree. They were not impressive in any way. Also, watched the Marquette game last evening and they don’t appear to be a very good shooting tram at all. Really struggled against a zone defense.

[Jumpin_Jamal_Forever]

Don't know if they are ranked or not, but saw UConn last week. They were playing Little Sisters of the Poor, I think so I don't want to get too carried away. But, they are big, athletic and good shooters. Great addition to the new B.E.

Damn John Groce.

Lowry was sold on X and Sean Miller was pushing for him hard. Somehow Matta listened to Groce who was pushing Odia.


The rest is history. (Large Scowl)

[Xuperman]

Before this thread fades away, I wanted to post this for some perspective.

I started following Kentucky HS hoops closely when we were recruiting that large Cov Cath turd and even more so when KyKy and Miles were on board.
So, I have a much different take on the quality of the EKU roster because most of their key players were studs in the KHSAA.

Robb and Moreno were teammates on powerhouse Scott Co. Robb especially has somewhat of a legend status down in Georgetown for his cut throat accuracy from distance. I remember wondering why X had zero interest in this guy, similar to CJ Fredrick who is a very nice sniper for the Hawkeyes.
Moreno was just a nasty, do everything frontcourt guy that will develop into a extremely productive college player.

Tre King, a big athletic kid out of Lexington, ended up at the prestigious Hargrave Military Academy (we got a pretty nice player from there). He was team captain as a SR on the #4 rated school nationally. He would start for us. This kid can flat out ball with anyone.

Now on to their 2 Freshman guards. Curt Lewis was arguably the top player in the state as a SR averaging 25 per. Mack and several other top tier D1s wanted him, but Academics forced him into JUCO. Eastern snatches him up and he looks VERY impressive as a 6'5" 220 scoring machine. Lastly, Wendell Green Jr out of Detroit was a member of national prep power La Lumiere. He ran the show for the Lakers, surrounded by and playing against the country's best talent. Going to be a wreaking ball of a PG when all is said and done.

I think we beat a very good group of up and comers....a very respectable dub IMO.
