Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4485987, member: 833"] A lineup of Nunge, Freemantle, Jones, Kunkel and Boum is going to make a lot of defenses look bad. Providence doesn't have a lineup like that. Xavier would be 14-1 if Miller had been able to wash the Travis Steele off this team faster. Steele was a beta coach that had his team expecting to lose close games, and you could see Xavier playing like that in November and December. He reminded me a lot of Lappas. Colby Jones and Freemantle did whatever they wanted under Steele, which was usually just enough hero ball screwups to cost them close games. Miller has Xavier playing more disciplined (with the exception of maybe Jones) and confident. It is a completely different team now. Xavier is Colby Jones playing under control and one bench guard becoming a bigger scoring threat from being challenging for a Final Four spot. [/QUOTE]
