Xavier Scouting Report

[KingAG]

That’s the thing is Hurley is the one who needs to adjust more than Miller. They dominated against us in the pick and roll, Hurley has to make the pregame adjustment to defend it differently this time.
The losing team is typically has to make more adjustments than the winner.
What big adjustments does Xavier have to make after our first meeting in your opinion?

Not give us so many open 3s. We were uncharacteristically cold. That won’t happen at Gampel

The problem was we took too many threes. We took 67 shots and 37 were threes. We weren't that cold either we hit 13 of them for 35%. Which is actually our current Team average.

They gave us a bunch of open 3s that’s why we took so many. We make 3-4 more and we win.
We also didn’t play bad that game. We played well. We just sort of lump it in with the other losses when it really shouldn’t be. It was a great game

Miller always has and will adjust on the fly
The question is - after all the reading, studying and less yelling accomplished by Dan Hurley, will he adjust on the fly
We shall see
As much as I detest Miller, the gut can outright coach

Xavier is very good and we are motivated and need this one so this game will tell a lot about us, are we really a top team? Last Xavier game showed we were.

contrary to popular belief, staff is obviously scouting and watching game tape too.
