In year 1 & 2 of the last three years, teams packed it inside(except for Georgetown) because we couldn't shoot from outside. That was a smart move by the other teams. Thus Xavier shot more from outside regardless of being contested because they were just a very very bad 3pt shooting team. Let's not forget that.
Balls of Steele!!

So MM shows some fun. Johnson beat Kunkel in 3 point shooting. Odom won dunk contest. Oh and Freemantle is on crutches.

I'm thinking we give him the ole Semaj/Sumner treatment, the kid is too athletic to be settling for threes, he is explosive and can get to the rim, if they sag off, stay disciplined and just run the offense. Ideally, I'd love to see the Semaj jump he had where he went from 25% to 38% while doubling his 3-point attempts, so hopefully Odom is working on his shot, but Sumner did the reverse Semaj by cutting his 3-point attempts in half and was still extremely effective for that team. Odom's athletic, use that god given body.

Just now home after the Musketeer Madness event. Here's the scoop.
Top observation is that Nate Johnson is 100% healthy and looks next level good. Just think, it was revealed few months back that he was playing injured all last year, but now is good to go and it shows. Hit 17 of 25 to win the 3 PT contest and hit 2 more in the scrimmage. As we know, a rock solid physical defender.
ZFree is hobbled. In a large walking boot AND on crutches. Can't see how he will be ready anytime soon. Not good because we have Ohio State and probably Memphis on the horizon.
Jack Nunge (Iowa transfer) did not play but did get on the floor for warm ups. He is a huge individual and seemed to be progressing nicely on the rehab. Almost game ready.
Jerome Hunter (Indiana transfer) is just WoW! Long, athletic, physical. Will be a matchup nightmare for most 3's. Seemed silky smooth with everything out there.
Dieonte Miles is ready for prime time. With 2 years of S&C under his belt, he is very imposing. A complete athletic freak for a guy his size. I was very impressed with how he attacked the basket with no hesitation and could very well be the quickest rim runner in conference.
Dwon Odom JUMPED OVER the 6'7" Hunter and finished with a violent one handed tomahawk dunk, to make the dunk contest a no brainer. That was simply incredible and easily the high decibel mark for the night. Odom is destined for greatness!
Ben Stanley is now healthy and looked fantastic. Looks to be the strongest guy on the team....just a rock with an absolute chiseled physique. Scored 8 straight at one point. Finished with 10 angry points.
Kunk was in the moment and just oozes confidence..... I mean JP type confidence. This kid is just a flat out gamer.
Paul Scruggs was the best player in the building.
X definitely comes as advertised. Extremely deep and athletic at every position. If Travis Steele manages to screw this up somehow, Head Coaching at this level is not in his future.President of the Eddie Johnson Fan Club
