Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4411084, member: 1329"] They missed the tournament, but won the NIT, which probably makes them a top 35 team last year. Colby Jones took a leap during that stretch. And the one starter they lost was actually a net negative for the team last year. I don't know what his deal was, but Scruggs was bad last year in a lot of games, and made some incredibly dumb plays that literally cost them a few wins. Sub 100 ORTG for the year means they can have addition by subtraction if they use those possessions more efficiently. Miller is a decent coaching upgrade. I like Boume and Claude (but freshman PG not expecting much). That all being said, #13 is pretty crazy. He was fairly positive last year. Think he was in the building when we beat Nova and so he was excited for the trajectory of the program. Or maybe his wife (an alum) was and it influenced him. Either way, he's said some nice things, but yeah he's on the Xavier train this season (but like most people has us in the top tier of 4 in the conference). [/QUOTE]
