What an embarrassment they’ve become. Imagine if they’d snagged someone like Sean Miller. Someone who could harness their historical brand. Was there ever a more badass brand in cbb than gtown in their prime? I still believe the right person could turn them back into a monster.

52-24 second half for LMU. GTown up 10 at half and lost by 18 against the team picked to finish second to last in the WCC.

Epitome of brutality?

They could, they just don't want to. There's some really weird stuff going in there with the people who run the school and Ronny Thompson.
 
My first time watching Xavier this season.

Nice seeing KyKy Tandy back healthy after the previous year and a half affected heavily by a stress fracture. Wish him good health.

Impressed with Souley Boum. He was the man at UTEP (19.8 ppg), but he's done a nice job fitting in with a Musketeers team with a lot of roster continuity. Not sure if he'll be a grad transfer stud, he'll likely be one of those guards who is consistently a factor of some capacity in every game.

His length is insane.

Honestly, Xavier has the pieces to be the best team in the Big East, especially when you combine the obvious upgrade of coaching with Sean Miller over Travis Steele (who I never liked).

He's a monster. Hoping Clingan can dominate like that in his career.

Donovan Clingan?

Xavier vs Indiana has some great transition defense both ways. Sometimes a high scoring came can be driven by good defense. Both sides are making defensive plays and creating transition baskets.

This is the second SJU game I've watched this year and they're a really bad team with a really good one-man offense in David Jones. So pretty much the same exact team as last year but add Posh and downgrade Champagnie

I suggest you watch again. They are far from a 1 man team. They aren’t going to win the NBE but they will post their share of upsets.
BTW. Loyola-Marymount has a fairly good basketball history

Really need to win the other four games tonight.
 
Colby Jones looks like he got in great shape over the summer. Last year, he looked skilled but lacking in strength/athleticism.

Same with freemantle. Doesn’t even have as much of that weird body posture as he used to
 
It is going to take a while to wash the Travis Steele off this Xavier team. Xavier was the better team tonight, but it is like they do just enough things wrong to lose close.

Miller choked, his player was in trouble right in front of him and he didn't call the timeout and Kunkel still stinks.
 
31-7 (2-5).

Disappointing loss for Xavier.
 
Am I crazy or did an Indiana player grab the net on that Kunkel layup?
 
What a game. GREAT effort Xavier. Despite all the mishaps, they came within a Kunkel missed layup of winning the game.

Trayce Jackson Davis is the real deal.

I'm pretty sure they were out. Otherwise it would be REAL awkward to go into that hail mary final play without using it
