Xavier 2023-2024 Season

[GoMuskies]

I'm just afraid we might accidentally beat Butler on Wednesday, making Thursday a true day of shame.

What needs to happen to get to the 7?

We beat Marquette and Providence and Villanova lose? Would that even do it?

Not sure of the tie breakers. I think we can stop at the “we beat Marquette.” Unfortunately.

I'm so bummed about losing that game last night. We really didn't even have to be that good this season to make the tournament, but we couldn't manage to take care of business consistently

I'm consoling myself by believing there's no way next year can be worse.

Well, yeah! For one thing, after this year's results, I'm betting next year's pre conf. schedule will be cup cake city, and we won't get saddled with the #s 1 & 2 teams in the country in Nov. And with an infusion of talent and off season improvement, we're ready to go come BE play.

I think I saw somewhere X had like 7 season ending injuries this year.. Free, Hunter, Kraft, Swain, Ciani, ducharme and nunge?

Not sure if thats accurate or not.

They mentioned it on the broadcast last night. But let’s be real, only two of those mattered for this season. Unfortunately they were two of the most important pieces and proved to be too much to overcome.

I disagree a bit. Craft was to be another 3 pt shooter, and Ducharme a few spot minutes as a shooter, that would cut down on guys needing to play 35-40 minutes a game. Also Swain and Ciani would have come in handy last night. I, for one am convinced Swain could be the next Posey. To your point, yes Free & Hunter were the big difference makers.

Ducharme's issue happened after he was already not in the rotation.

Yes

I mean, it's possible.

Providence and Villanova have tough games. But yes, beating Marquette is the bigger barrier.

A little surprised to see Quincy was only an honorable mention for Big East teams. Can’t complain too much, just wanted it for his sake. Good to see 2/5 all big East freshman were X players though.
