I advocate staying with it for now. It's the only successful thing that happened this season. How about the opponent adapting to Xavier for a change.

They also had two bigs for a good portion of that 39-22 deficit to start the game. Also, the only successful thing to happen this season? Both beating Illinois on a neutral court and beating DePaul on the road are better wins than beating Georgetown at home.

Agreed, it is a sorry list, and the last 25 minutes are probably the best Xavier minutes this year. Some people are just acting like the fact that two bigs played together just under half the game implies that it's the cause of the win. A lot of the great run after the miserable start came with a normal lineup. Actually, you can tie more of the comeback to Elias Harden playing, as he didn't get in until about halfway through the first half, then played most of the remaining game. Again, though, it's not a simple correlation equals causation situation. The team as a whole just played better too.

Welage gets a lot of plays designed for him, but he's frequently faceguarded. It seems that a lot of defensive game plans for Xavier involve denying the team's most dangerous shooter and challenging everyone else to beat them.
I like the idea of giving Scruggs some more looks, but he honestly needs to shoot it more when he's open. He is great at attacking the closeout but is sometimes to keen to attack a packed defense rather than shoot the fairly open three.

I don't find this to be true very often. On numerous occasions I have seen Welage totally unguarded, and the rest of the team ignores him completely. He could have had many open 3s, but the rest of the team is hell bent on something else. It reminds me of the new kid in school that everyone ignores.
