Nice article, makes me hope Samson's name becomes a part in these write-ups this season. Actually I can't wait.

This is nice. Thanks.
I always like reading articles like this from national writers who give you more of the details and background info the local guys don't typically do since they are writing for the local fans who follow the team day to day.

Agree with the assessment of Xavier. They are a couple of buckets from a top twenty ranking.

They’ve had some rough matchups and played them close but they are really good offensively.

Defensively not so much.

Yes. But is early in the season so hopefully they get better.

We need a good 3rd in league. Just don’t get better against us. I dislike teams that popcorn fart their way through non conf and drag league ranking down and then look like the globetrotters in February ;-).

This year that could very well describe nova. I thing when they get healthy and a month under them they will be a tough out.

What about the Johnnies? Good coach, not their fault they're undefeated.

Long bruising season ahead. Everybody will be bringing their A game. At least we have depth to weather the toll it takes on guys in February.

Sorry, had to. lol

Great article, also think the Xavier breakdown is a little premature. Defense usually gets better as the year goes on, especially with a new coach.

Looks like Marquette, Johnnies, Creighton and us so far. St. John’s played anyone yet except that cornfield team?

If he can can get some recruits down there they could really do some good things bringing that program back to elite because you are right theyve got a darn good coach.

Our games with Georgetown are gonna be UGLY.....

I know of at least one P-5 team they beat.
