This was a bad loss. Name a single positive from this game.
Again the boneyard has a very hard time of differentiating between a bad loss and a disappointing loss. This loss hurts our season in no way whatsoever. It would’ve been nice to have. But Xavier doesn’t lose there. Was Marquette’s loss to us a bad loss? Of course not. It’s the Big East. It happens.

What made you optimistic about tonight’s performance???? Cause I didn’t see a single thing. Offense was abysmal. Defense was abysmal. Bonehead IQ plays…. Awdul coaching. Literally nothing I saw made me optimistic to play a team that almost beat us at home last time.
Fight.....Frankly everything

Gaffney take a bow. Not perfect but his aggressiveness was much needed in the first half. Miffed that DH pulled him after the bs fall call on the 3 pt play.

Cole was bad for what we need from him. He looks totally lost in the pick and roll. Sanogo went missing, awful game from him.

Martin needs to open his eyes on layups. Just throwing the ball up at this point.

Whaley is an amazing off ball defender but gets consistently brutalized one on one.

Andre Jackson is a busboy right now - he’s bringing nothing to the table, only taking things away.

We have too many guys with undefined roles and it’s February. DH still hasn’t figured his rotations out. That technical was awful - it was the right idea, 15 minutes too late. He needs to rein it in.

Hurley doesn’t know how to coach when his team isn’t clicking. Hopefully he learns. Missed a big chance at a nice road win tonight.

Cole hit back to back 3’s as soon as he came back in after foul trouble. Kept us in it after being on the verge of being blown out.

Saying Xavier is a bad team isn’t true. It was also at Xavier with a good crowd and their backs were a bit up against the wall. That being said, we missed a ton of shots and they won the loose ball/offensive rebound battle big time. Winnable game but not nearly as bad a loss as Creighton was.

It’s not a bad loss to anyone outside of the boneyard. If we’re going to lose our collective minds after every conference loss we are going to become clinically insane in the BE.

I’m glad your optimistic. But most realists would say that was an abysmal performance against a very beatable mediocre team.
They are ranked. Realists understand the state of the program. This is where we are now. Competing against potential tournament teams. Which is a better place than we were just 2 years ago.

The big east is hard
We want to be a beast in this conference we have to win these games. Can’t chalk every lose up to well this is a tough conference. We lost these games in AAC too.

Just think if Jackson’s pass against St. John’s doesn’t go out of bounds with 4 seconds closer to our basket.

Also missed Jackson on two breaks for dunks and couldn't get it in to Sanogo. He obviously is the least of our problems but his point guard play didn't match his scoring tonight.
