    Trying to get this thread back on a positive as opposed to same discussion and observations I’ve read over the last several weeks.

    Freemantle was 2-2 from 3 while keeping the team from being under 20% for the game. Also was 3-4 from the floor, scoring 10 points, and 4 boards in 16 minutes. Love the energy and effort he gives us when he’s on the court.

    So what I hear you saying is that Freemantle ought to be shooting more and more 3s (along with Scruggs) while playing together on the court with Jones.

    Cause if that’s what your saying, I’ve gotta agree.

    Each day that goes by means one less day with Steele at the helm.

    That’s my positive take.

    Does anyone think this impacts Naji or Paul coming back for a 4th year?
    Run the table.

    Not an informed opinion at all, but I think it's purely a business decision for both (i.e. results of this season are nearly irrelevant).

    I think you can make a case that Scruggs getting to play PG full time next season could help build his stock. Don't think there's a similar case for Naji to showcase a new part of his game like that.

If X has a great team in this new BE, the odds would favor seeding of 1-4 as opposed to having superior teams in A10 and getting a “easier” 6-10 seed.
    Choice: get to NCAA every year as an average 7 seed or get invite to NCAA as a 2-6 seed every 3rd year ?
    I never thought the Big East would be so far advanced than other leagues .
    As soon as we start debating if it would have been better to stay in A10 is when we know the board is in full meltdown mode.

    This team would probably be a less successful version of the Tu Holloway group that got slaughtered by Marquette in the first round.

    I'm under the impression that Odom is a Day 1 starter.

    He hasn't even set foot on campus or practiced once yet.

    You're gonna roll with him over a senior Paul Scruggs? Then I would start to wonder if Steele was trying to get fired.
