    Well I guess that TEAMS that “suck” CAN have players that are good in some areas, but not in others.

    Does it “suck” to root for a team that “sucks”? Sure it does. But looking on the bright side we need to realize that it’s probably just temporary. Unlike what some other fans have been going through for YEARS, we only go through this once in a very long while anymore. So we just gotta “suck it up” this year and get through it. I believe that the lack of quality depth is the biggest problem that this team has and I firmly believe that problem will be taken care of starting next year.

    Naji is second in rebounds, and Q is 2nd in assists and 4th in steals.
    Welage has made the 3rd most 3 pointers in the league, despite playing only 21 minutes/game. The 2 guys ahead of him play 30.

    Somehow we are not putting it all together for W's.
    If Seton Hall is an example, we just get sloppy and give it all up in the last 10 minutes. Maybe tired.
    Thanks Paul.
    I should have said near the top....let's not forget Scruggs and his .457 3P%.

    We're in the ultimate "sneak-up-on-em" mode.

    Just imagine how satisfying it will be when a team that sucks (comparatively) rises like the proverbial Phoenix and becomes the Juggernaut of the Big East.

    It's just a matter of time......

    Agreed. As I wrote the OP I kept thinking. At least it's temporary. Could be much worse.
    I have a podcast. Sometimes we talk about Xavier: You. Me. Cincy.
    I put the X in Texas. @fleckd.

    People are freaking out and panicking here.

    X is not Duke, UK, UNC, Kansas, or Michigan.

    They can freak out.

    This year, X would be in top 2-3 of A10.

    Because X is in BE, X might have "great" seasons every 4-5 years and a poor season 2-3 times every 8 years.

    Would you be happier in A10?

    Think about the Maryland fans.

    I haven't seen anyone freaking out or panicking. We just know we have a bad team this year and have accepted it. No one thinks this is the permanent state of play.

    Was this supposed to support your point? Because it did not
