I think the Big East now is going back to its roots of having the biggest and most physical basketball in the country. Xavier was monstrous compared to Wisconsin, Providence is full of football looking players compared to Washington, Nova and Seton Hall all look massive and so on. You can't be a stick and play in the Big East anymore.

There is something to this. I have commented about JP's size and tre's body transformation that started last year. Lavin even complimented out strength program at the half. ..think of the play where Happ ran into a stout O mara and slipped. It matters.

Farr and Reynolds were huge. This team could be special, we need O’Mara to remember his tourney run. I think the three freshmen are going to improve a lot. Harden is long, really long. I see a lot of man-to-man in our future.

I was satisfied with O'Mara's contribution last night. Happ definitely got the best of him, but it's Happ. He's on a level we won't see that much of this season.
On the other hand, Tyrique's handing of Happ was fantastic. He forced Happs missed shot which led to Tre's differentiating 3. That was incredible.

Jones had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist in 17 minutes
O'Mara had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 0 assists in 16 minutes
for a total of 19 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist in 33 minutes
Happ had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in 30 minutes.
So as a tandem Jones and O'mara neutralized Happ and you might conclude that is the main reason Xavier won the game. They didn't shut him down, but, his defense against them wasn't exactly anything to brag about either.
