    I would like for Tyrique to extend his range beyond a dunk.

    I bet that is also the number one thing that NBA scouts will be telling him as well. He should be putting up all kinds of shots over the summer.

    New one from NBC.. Hausers out at MU really impacting them.

    6(Nova), 12 (Hall) 18 (X) and 19 (Creighton). No Marquette----crazy what happened there. IMO I think Nova is too high at 6 for early in the season. Will be very good by end of year. Also, Georgetown is going to be good. Nice to see you guys there. Your core guys back and good recruits---should be very strong. Personally, I won't miss Hankins!

    18 is too high for us. We're more of a "sneak up" in 2020, I think.

    If Hankins leaving gives you a sigh of relief, imagine how we feel with Booth AND Paschall gone!

    Maybe you can give some insight from your end on VU being ranked higher than X, given what both teams lost/retained. Total score in the 3 games last year were VU-204 XU-203. Both win at home and it takes 28 pts from PB AND OT to win the rubber game.

    I have been quite adamant about there being no logical reason for you guys to be picked ahead of us but everyone does anyway. For what reasons are you buying in to this BS in NovaNation? I mean your losing 1263 points of offense and all of your in game leadership, while we retain nearly all of ours.

    Obviously pre season predictions mean jack....especially in April but I just would like to hear how this is being justified.

    All I’m saying is we win that big east tournament game by double digits with a healthy naji marshall.

    I’d guess the logic to having them ranked higher is that nova has two 5 stars coming in and jay wright and we dont

    I think I can explain. Have you checked out Nova's recruiting class? Absolutely fabulous, and one of the top 3 in the country.

    Channeling Iverson I say Freshman? Freshman? We're talking Freshman?

    Freshman are unknowns (see Quinerly or any number of UK frosh). Yes, they are very good but good enough to move the needle that much compared to proven upperclassmen. Can't see it.

    I know that's the logic but it's not logical. So, by replacing Booth with Antoine and Paschall with Robinson-Earl you get a better team? All while our Core 4 are a year older/wiser with firmly established chemistry. Not happening. Hard to spin it any other way.

    There are several reasons why nova is ahead of Xavier preseason:

    Jay Wright x and o's
    Better recruits
    A coach and staff that is a known commodity in terms of players progressing year to year.

    Steele and staff is still an unknown to people outside of xavier.
