When Scruggs was shooting you could really see him setting his feet and squaring his shoulders. Some of these other guys looked like they were open and had time but still rushed their shots. Next practice needs to a 3 point shooting clinic lead by Scruggs... Mr. Confidence.
Anyway, I have a sneaky feeling Castlin has upped his confidence a bit after that last huge 3 and we will now see him make more of his 3s.

While I admit that this year’s team is nowhere near as deep or talented as last year’s team, or as some of the other past teams, I think that many times we fans see our own warts and don’t see those of the others. Now I’m not saying that X should just sail through the BE and have no trouble beating the other teams. But what I am saying is that we shouldn’t act like they are all perfect either. They all have weaknesses and problems they need to overcome also. They all have warts. It’s up to the coaching staff to show them how to take advantage of those warts and to put them into positions where they can. Then it’s up to the players to do it.

I just think nova is an automatic two losses. I could at least envision x beating st johns or Marquette at home.
Road to 10 for me would be
Home wins:
Providence
DePaul
Creighton
Away wins:
Providence
Georgetown
creighton
And then either beating Marquette or st John's at home.
I think that would be a great "rebuild" season and certainly something to build on for the next year or two.
Btw our last five games of the season....geezus!
@hall
Nova
@st John's
@butler

welly had a tough game(but a good floor game I thought) but James Hardin went 1-17 tonight.. Reggie Miller went 1-18 in a game against Knicks (game 6 in 1999 the LJ 4 pt play series) so it is not unprecedented..

When we look back, this could be the game where Scruggs became a legitimate force in the BEast. Man he was fun to watch! I just stared at the box score and marveled at how he did it all in this one. Was in complete command of the offense, took care of the ball and only 1 foul. That is what an ELITE PG looks like. We gotta get Q healthy before heading to Philly but I wonder if he would mind playing off the ball...

No doubt we are a better , deeper team with Q. But, the last two games have opened my eyes. Its not like we are an offensive juggernaut...........but we are taking better shots and have not turned it over as much. Q playing off the ball may be fine, but he still cant shoot a lick. Similar to the rest of the team, sans Scruggs and Welage.
