Ever hear of a team losing their way a little and getting into a funk?  Conference play is a bit of a different animal.  Teams know each other more, scouting is better with common opponents and more film and data available from out of conference play.  It’s also no mystery that for better our worse, Big East conference play is a more physical brand of basketball and to date we have shown that maybe we’re better at “west coast” ball than “east coast” ball.  That may serve us better come Ncaa tournament time - who knows?  Magnifying some of this is the portal.  Fair to say when you have a team as talented as us, that we (and most teams) are a tougher scout in November Vs January?  Maybe not since many in here think Hurley is too stubborn and is not good at making adjustments.  Fewer and fewer veteran teams where you can rely on last years data and film for scouting.  PC - brand new lineup.  Xavier brand new coach using the pieces very differently + Boum.  Anyway - keep working with McLovin and the rest of the boneyard’s analytics team.  They have all the answers.  External factors that impact the data don’t matter ;)
