I see Reds broadcaster Jon Sadak on the call tomorrow night.

You might want to adjust the title thread as Xavier has already lost to TCU.

Morgan State is #348 out of 364 Division I teams according to KenPom. Can't say I'm sad to see an opponent like this on te schedule right now.

Crap. I can't fix it. Only a moderator I think, unless I delete the entire thing.

Help moderators !!

This should be a 30+ point win. If not, just adds to the growing concerns.

Exactly. Not optimistic based on how this team has played through 9 games.

Would be great to see some things like:

1. Who's the floor leader of this team?
2. What kind of defense are we going to play? The pack line hasn't worked and I don't think it fits the style and strength of this team.
3. The offense is anemic and stagnant. What adjustments will be made?
4. Would be great to see this team come together, play like they're having some fun and all on the same page. Havent seen that yet really......

I’d like to see a starting lineup change this game. X should win by 30 plus ( not saying they will) , but it’s a good time to switch up the lineup at a time where stress should be low

Morgan State is #348 out of 364 Division I teams according to KenPom.

IU Indy is #351. We beat them by 14, 94-80. Strap it in.
