Thoughts on the remaining season

[94GRAD]

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

I think you're melding Jason Love and Anthony!

I was thinking maybe Jimmy Farr.

Jimmy. Jason love. Bj Raymond. Lionel chalmers. Sean Omara. Even Justin cage.

So many greats that came from doing little early in their careers to having a huge imprint on tourney teams. It’s why I have loved Xavier basketball all these years. And that part is probably gone forever.

With the last two seasons of watching this Xavier basketball team play poorly, it makes me appreciate not being a Cleveland Browns fan. I can’t imagine having to endure this misery year after year after year.

Just occuring to me that the portal opens up in about 8-9 weeks. That’s pretty much all I have to look forward to at this point

Hett
We could go ahead and win ALL of the February games! Now, that's a good scenario for looking forward.

Aaron Williams, Jamie Gladden, Jalen Reynolds, Tyrique Jones

All with increasing developmental paths over 3-4 years.

Weird year so far....10-7 record, 2-4 in conference. X is 0-7 in quad 1 games and 10-0 in all other. 2-0 in quad 2....Nova tomorrow night is a quad 2.

Trying to remember from two years ago - was Freemantle already out with his injury when Nova won at Cintas? I remember him having a big game when X finally won at the Pavilion.

yeah he was out already. He got injured during the Creighton game which was a few weeks before Nova.

Next 7 games is make or break time. Not predicting it, but if they can find a way to go 4-3 in the next 7, then there is the chance this team could go on a real run in February/March. Anything less than that, eyes point to next year.

Somehow find a way to win against Nova, UCONN and Gtown at home and steal one on the road is the path forward. It's a very big ask for what we have seen from this team up to this point, but crazier things have happened.

[drudy23]

It's quite possible we see 0-7 or 1-6 over this stretch. It's a tough stretch.

It probably won't be that bad, but outside of Villanova, the other 5 are better teams than us (and Nova has been playing MUCH better).

Nova (H)
Marquette (A)
SJU (A)
UConn (H)
Creighton (A)
GTown (A)
Nova (A)

Certainly is make or break time for this squad. It could get even more depressing.
