Thoughts on the remaining season

[drudy23]

Carr was just a scrapper who did what was required. And who is going to ever forget the break away layup to beat the Kenyon Martin Bearcats? Those type of moments won't happen again because these guys can't be as invested as guys like that we're because the game is all about ME and not about WE anymore.

That was Kevin Frey.

Lol you are right. I gotta take the L on that one.

We've had some good results on lower level talent coming in. Boum and Olivari were great from C-USA. McKnight has been solid coming from C-USA. Kunk was great coming in from the OVC. Hankins was a great add coming from Division 2. CJ Anderson was very solid coming from Manhattan. Karem Kanter was huge coming from the Horizon. Malcolm Bernard came from the MEAC and was very solid. Matt Stainbrook was a star (and a very talented Uber driver) coming from the MAC. Andrew Taylor had his moments (including a good NCAA Tournament game when everyone else was terrible) from Division 2.

I don't think it's fair to make a blanket statement that we don't want guys coming up from lower levels.

I would like to say the perfect example of a growing Xavier player was Anthony Myles. He was garbage his first 2 years in terms of basketball production. But he grew, he developed and took the message of his predecessors. He became a dude and played better than Sheldon Williams in the elite 8. It's a shame he was robbed by an official. But it's that type of growth that defined Xavier basketball. That's what made people like this program. Those stories are impossible now because if a guy doesn't play he just goes elsewhere. They don't take the challenge to get better. They just move to the path of least resistance

Myles only played two total years at X. He was a JuCo.

And he started all but one game while he was at X. So he always played while he was at X.

That is just gold. Who will ever forget that break away layup? Uh, YOU!

Can any performance this Saturday satisfy X fans?
40 point dominant win?
Conwell matches or exceeds Olivari's road DePaul score?
X outrebounds DePaul by 20 ?

How about every player giving 100%?

No it’s DePaul. X is supposed to win. Rattle off 3-4 in a row and maybe we will start to be satisfied

Just win. That's far from a given.

DePaul has had second half leads against Providence and Seton Hall (not to mention an 18-point lead AT Hall) before promptly peeing down their legs. X would do well not to dig too deep a hole early on like they've done against Marquette, Georgetown, St. John's, etc.
