    Ha, seriously!

    I can't imagine the personnel nightmare of being a first year head coach with Mark Lyons and Jordan Crawford on your team. Tu Holloway wasn't exactly an easy person to deal with...

    That's the story he gave because it made him look better. And it's not like it was completely absent as a motivation for his decision, but the fuller story includes something akin to, "We need you to...

    This is bullshit. Huggins does care deeply about his players, and they care about him. Obviously a flawed man, but that doesn't mean everything about the guy is evil.

    And the game at Providence is just before that. They're not as good, but they're good enough to be a tough out on the road.

    My brother-in-law and his brother have always been a bit lax at what is allowed. One of them once played EIEIO, justifying it as a word from a song.

    There's always going to be times that a shooter is missed on the perimeter, and these instances are going to be remembered well when the resulting drives are not effective. In addition, the overhead...

    Welage gets a lot of plays designed for him, but he's frequently faceguarded. It seems that a lot of defensive game plans for Xavier involve denying the team's most dangerous shooter and challenging...

    Agreed, it is a sorry list, and the last 25 minutes are probably the best Xavier minutes this year. Some people are just acting like the fact that two bigs played together just under half the game...

    Yep. Georgetown was a good opponent to face with two bigs. There are a couple other opponents where it could work well too, but most Big East teams are perimeter-oriented.

    Yeah, just stop shooting threes, Goodin. You'll still be able to score in other ways when the defense completely sags off you on the perimeter. No problem.

    Yep. I really like Castlin for making the right play at the right time for the team but not trying to take over. He is the definition of a good glue guy.
