Nonconference should go better this year with lots of talent returning. I see 5-6 NCAA bids. Maybe 7 if get a lucky bounce here or there.
XU's biggest concern this year is consistent contribution from bench and 3 point shooting. I assume rebounding will be good and defense will be strong.
Need Moore, Tandy, Bishop, Scruggs and Marshall to knock down an average of 35%. Oh and no more than 12 turnovers. X will play faster and attack more often. Attacking might lead to balls stripped or sloppy deflected passes. Hope teh defense carries X to a top 3 conference finish.
If X ' s defense was so strong last year (I agree) then why play fast? Walk it up and hold teams down to 50 points and win like the last 8 games.
Yes, X has more players but fast play reminds me of Prosser teams and that was not fun.

There are more or less three tiers of the Big East this season. Villanova and Seton Hall at the top, Butler/DePaul/St. John's at the bottom and a pretty big cluster in the middle.

SH and their supporting cast of players are going to need to step up this year if they want a BE title. Obviously Powell is really good, but I think they need more from others before they can knock off us or Nova.
