November 24, 200817 yr XU just played 3 quality teams in a row , won them all, and you're excited about UC's performance against Western Somebody? They had to come from 15 down to beat Missouri. It took a MIRACLE half court shot to beat a horribly coached Va. Tech. Memphis si NOT as good as advertised. I'm looking forward to the shootout (and Memphis) as well.

November 24, 200817 yr Congratulations to Xavier. I really like Coach Miller. I think hes one of the best coaches out there. Hes done great things with Xavier.

I'm looking forward to the shootout (and Memphis) as well. But the fact is that they DID come back to beat Missouri, they kept themselves in the game to be able to make the miracle shot against Tech, and beat a good Memphis team - whether or not the are as "good as advertised" or not. Great start to X's season by beating some quality opponents.
November 24, 200817 yr What's your point? You and GT are the only ones who think VT is "horribly coached." How do you not see that? Watch the tape! You can hear him yelling "you get open!, wait no, you get open!" Have a plan.
November 24, 200817 yr No way Memphis is a top 15 team. I don't see how they could be after losing Rose, Dorsey, and CDR. Good win for XU nonetheless.
November 24, 200817 yr How do you not see that? Watch the tape! You can hear him yelling "you get open!, wait no, you get open!" Have a plan. As I replied in another thread to GT's same claim: He also didn't say "don't charge" or "don't foul on the rebound because we don't want to send them to the line" yet the players knew. While he was saying "get open" he was also mapping out on the board HOW to "get open." Your claim would only be valid if he looked them straight in the eyes without drawing anything up and said "boys, just get open." For you and GT to discount the success he's had at building USF and re-building VaTech tells me you either don't know basketball or you simply don't like the guy personally. I'm guessing its the latter. So, what are you trying to tell me when you tell me about X's victories as it pertains to how they will do against UC which is a team no one confuses with UM, VT, or Memphis?
November 24, 200817 yr So, what are you trying to tell me when you tell me about X's victories as it pertains to how they will do against UC which is a team no one confuses with UM, VT, or Memphis? No one confuses with Missouri or Virginia Tech? :lol: Do you consider this X team to be better than either of the last two teams? One that lost to UC two years ago and the other that had to hang on to beat in Cintas???
November 24, 200817 yr No one confuses with Missouri or Virginia Tech? :lol: Do you consider this X team to be better than either of the last two teams? One that lost to UC two years ago and the other that had to hang on to beat in Cintas??? Are you telling me that UC is on the level of Mizzou and VT? This X team is not as good as last year's team offensively. Defensively they may be better overall. Note that I've not said once that UC can't or won't beat them. What I have said is that X just beat 3 solid to pretty good teams and we have nothing but speculation to judge UC on.
November 24, 200817 yr I think this X team will be better than the last two teams, but UC is better too. X is going to be really good at the end of the year. They may not go to the elite 8, but they are good and I think their frosh will develop a ton in the next few months. Was X better than UC the times they beat them while UC was in the top 5? Throw the records out when those two teams go at it. UC needs to worry about navigating that conference along w/ the two games mentioned.
November 24, 200817 yr Are you telling me that UC is on the level of Mizzou and VT? Yes. Without a doubt...
November 24, 200817 yr Yes. Without a doubt... So UC is a bubble team for the NCAA? UC beat USC right now?
November 24, 200817 yr So UC is a bubble team for the NCAA? UC beat USC right now? If they were in the ACC or Big 12 I'd feel a lot better about their tournament chances, but as I have said before I think they will be just outside the tournament this year. I also don't think Mizzou or VPI make it. USC flat out isn't very good right now. Not much else to say there...
