Every D1 College coach in America would take that “Rough Deal” in a N.Y. minute.
Uh, Xavier throwing the ball directly to the other team and being stupid with the ball has nothing to do with what St. John’s does.
Want to argue that Xavier played like garbage? Ask Steele himself. He already said it immediately after the game. Want to argue with the Coach who’s team is still making the same mistakes 26 games in..with veterans?
We got lucky. We’ll take it, but if you can’t see the warts that still exist on this team, I don’t know what to tell you.
And my two Premium Xavier Season tickets are just fine, thank you.
Where are yours?[
That last part stings a bit. I was there when Gary Massa scored his 1000 point, I was there when Xavier played Alcorn State in Dayton, I was there when Xavier beat Missouri and played and should have beat Duke in Indy, when Leroy Greenidge was handing out wrist bands out of introductions at Schmidt, i was there getting autographs at the gardens from McBride and others, I was there when Byron scored 45 in the MCC tourney, when David West scored 47 against Dayton, when Xavier fans stomped the floor in Dayton, when Xavier beat Creighton on New Years, when we beat Indiana in Chicago, beat Louisville in Cincy and on. That’s off the top of my head, there were many more. Don’t question my fandom.
