    They ran a defense?

    We are talking about Brooklyn Chris Mullin...he probably loves the way they play. That's how he played.

    He does love the way they play.

    That's why in the post that started this convo I said the sooner they hit rock bottom and he gets fired the better.

    Freeman is extremely unlikely to happen. I'm not so certain Xavier is going to go after a 5th year guy, but will likely target a transfer big

    Yeah but Freeman shot 3's at a 39% clip, he'd be nice to have on a team full of slashers more than shooters to be honest. I think if we have a chance, we should grab him. And he would have a year left.

    Exactly, you give this a shot. If we have a 39% (or 3.9%) chance to get an experienced 39% shooter, go all in! It's probably what we need most next year. If it doesn't work out? Nothing lost...

    This is not going to happen. It was Xavier and Baylor at the very end of his original recruitment and he went to Baylor for specific reasons. Xavier didn't play the game the first go round so I doubt they have any interest in kicking the tires on this one.

    Probably not, of course. But unless there is some reason to NOT try to make the team better, you look into it. We could benefit from another shooter. They did have a relationship. If he's a problem of some sort, that's one thing. Short of that....why not kick the tires?
