I don’t know if we are schizophrenic so much as just not all that talented without McNeeley. I didn’t foresee him being so indispensable, but it is what it is. Our starting lineup - whether it includes Ross or Stewart - has three players we can’t count on for points, and the two we count on can’t really create their own shots.

We thought about AK taking a leap and being All-American, but he’s not first team all-conference. Love him, but he has to play off people and just doesn’t have enough in his bag to be a lead dog. Ball has taken a nice leap as a scorer, but is still limited, and Mahaney hasn’t been what we hoped  (yet - knock wood the light is coming on).

McNeeley was trending towards being an elite player in this league who made the pieces fit better, but we don’t have a top 10 player in this conference right now. If you watched yesterday’s game with no preconceived bias and picked a five person lineup based on talent, it’s probably 4 Xavier guys and Solo.
