Hopefully we're back on track

Generally agree with Chico.

Off track in the sense of derailed, no. Off track, as in a pathway, msybe. the St. John game we looked out of sorts, in the way we did last season on the road in the league.

We have plenty of 3pfg power, but I don't get the over reliance on it, at the expense of the post game in the half court. More Jalen, please. The rebounding edge OOC has withered. This Saturday should be interesting in the paint.

The rebound edge diminishes as we play more zone.

Yeah. It was Snipe-esque in length.

One could even say it was a blessing in disguise

Something I've learned in the past couple of years is that things can be two things at once.

It is awful that Edmund Sumner suffered a terrifying and life/career-altering/threatening injury.

AND

His absence has provided an opportunity for new roles and tactics and experience that can benefit the team in the future.

I get what Drew was saying. Whether we were "off track" or not, we have built our record to 15-1 despite not being on our "A" game for several of them. I think that's actually a testament to what this team can achieve.

But has any team really played their "A" game the entire year? Does this every happen? Teams always go through ups and downs, they get upset, they play down to their competition on occasion.

I don't know exactly what qualifies as our "A" game because I don't know our ceiling. I'm not sure anyone really does. But we looked damn good against Michigan, Dayton and USC.

Go back and watch the first half against USC. That would probably qualify.

USC is one of the 3 games I mentioned as potential candidates.

Speaking of USC -- up 18 and dominating at UCLA.

Michigan also picked up a huge win against #3 Maryland yesterday.

Xavier's OOC resume looking stronger and stronger.
