Given that we're on the road, we're prone to scoring droughts, and Uc feels due for one, this is the least optimistic I've been in awhile for a Crosstown win.

At the end of the game, if we have scored more points than UC, we will definitely win this game.

JP - please be less careless.
Ed - don't try to be the hero with careless drives and offensive fouls
Tre - no disappearing act
Everyone Else (including fans) - Escalate The Hate
This will be a tough one to pull out. They have to win eventually right? While UC is improved on the offensive end, they haven't seen great defenses. Getting them frustrated on the offensive end will pay dividends.Last edited by drudy23; 01-23-2017 at 10:10 AM.

Trevon has had 5 TOTAL points in the two games he has played against uc. If he doesn't get to at least 15 IMO X has a very slim chance, the help just isn't consistently there as it was in years past. X needs someone else to score besides Macura and Sumner as well and I think that guy might be Bernard. Absolutely can not go on a drought from deep like we have some tendencies to do on the road this year. Very nervous about this game but X has all the talent and more to beat this UC team. Time to put Mylesgate behind us and start winning some important games!!

Not all members are Kenyon subscribers and many like me don't understand all of his metrics.
But, as best as I can tell, UC 's opponents have , on average the 58th best offense and the 217th best ( worst ) defense.
XU's opponents have the 22nd best offense and the 28th best ( worse) defense.
So based on Strength of Scheduel alone the competition XU has faced is vastly superior to UC's competition on both ends of the court.
Extrapolate from there.Last edited by GOX; 01-23-2017 at 10:50 AM. Reason: Kenpom
