Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4486067, member: 1522"] Xavier's bigs combined for 1 made three, Xavier got 41 points off of layups. Maybe don't send your center out to the perimeter constantly and leave your 7'2 rim protector on the bench. It was a game where the opposing coach dictated things against us, we saw this in previous years. We're now the best team in the conference and I was hoping we wouldn't see this. Let Nunge and Freemantle beat us shooting threes like Miller let Jackson beat us shooting threes. We're too big and athletic to let a not overly athletic Xavier team get rim runs all game. Again, Nunge and Freemantle combined for 1 made three and Xavier got 41 points off of layups. My biggest thing is Clingan needs to be on the court more, Hurley seems hellbent on not taking Sanogo out of the game in Big East play and not playing him down low defensively which is one of the reasons I'm advocating for playing them together for 4-5 minutes. Clingan wasn't getting enough minutes when he was at 15 minutes per game IMO and now he's a tick below 10 in Big East play. Now that everyone has seen us play a bunch, good coaches are going to exploit what we're doing. Hurley clearly didn't impose our advantages on them and didn't make the counters last game, let's make the other coach make the counters. Let's see how we respond against Cooley and the Friars.
