    Time to act like a real head coach Travis and not the players friend...if you have the guts.
    This team went 8-8 in a really, really bad Atlantic 10.

    Does the season seem even more frustrating when I tell everyone that if the Lineup holds till the end of the year, the Starting 5 will feature four 1,000 point scorer's?

    Travis Steele looked back to one of the greatest teams in Xavier history. He saw that in 2004 the team was 10-9 and just got blown out on the road against a rather crappy GW team. He figured that was the pace he needed to be on! HE IS SUCCEEDING!!!

    Well... there’s a touch of truth to that. In both 04 and 17 we were dead in the water...

    Maybe there’s hope. Sure don’t feel like that though...

    I didn't feel much hope in 2004...

    Oh, man. What a horrible memory. I was at the GW game, January 28, 2004, and saw a Xavier team abjectly quit on the court. The only time in my life I've ever seen that. Then they went to udump and lost. Somehow Lionel Chalmers saved the season and XU went on and won 16 out of 17, only losing to Dookcane until they got screwed vs Dook. Hard to see that happening now, but YNK.

    That's why part of me was hoping that we'd hear about a damaged locker room in Milwaukee last night. I just don't see anyone who has the mentality of a Chalmers or Malcolm Bernard to draw the line.

    I was in Vegas for the Dookane game. What a kick to the gut that one was when it seemed like we had a clear path to an at-large bid despite our earlier troubles. Now we were going to have to beat #1 St. Joe's in the conference tournament, and there was obviously no way that was going to happen. Wonder how that turned out anyway...

    These guys seem more apt to try to one-up Steele than break some shit because they're competitive and pissed.

    They don't play pissed.

    This feels different.

    But I will say, everytime I've had this level of doubt in my life, Xavier threw it right back in my face by pulling it together and frankly, over-achieving.

    I just can't see that re-invention this year.
