Big East 2024 Offseason

[Herman Cain]

Nova plays a low possession game.  That's not our style so the question is question is can we run with UCONN.  As for beating Nova?  I think we can attack the rim effectively.

Will Whitmore get more minutes against MU?

Maybe a few?  Slater and Daniel's are physical but seem inconsistent to me.

Hopefully he doesn’t show why many consider him to be a top 5/10 pick

This All Access game between Xavier and St. John's is hilarious.  Neither team is playing a lick of defense and Mike Anderson has said "NOOO!" to about 50% of his teams shots.

Anderson scooper

Not a fan of "All Access".

I hate it. They use up a third of the screen to show coaches screaming at the players while play is going on. I can’t believe the players can hear and respond to the things the coaches yell while play is going on.

I wish they would limit it to timeouts.

That would be a start.  I suppose there are some coaches that are entertaining on the sidelines but that would not include Sean Miller or Mike Anderson.

Some love it, some hate it…but personally the DePaul game last year was nearly unwatchable for me. I could not focus whatsoever on the game and had a huge headache afterwards.

[GoldenEagles03]

It seems like St. John's hasn't run a play all game.  They just run up and down chucking up stupid shots.

Their motto out of the locker room was "street fight time".  This is just terrible basketball to watch.

I was getting a headache until I turned the sound off.

I know UConn is better than we are. I know they'll be favored in both games, probably huge favorites at home.

But I've seen pretty big chunks of their games vs. Georgetown and Nova, and they don't seem unbeatable to me.

Really looking forward to our game on the 11th. What's the worst that happens? MU loses like just about everybody will expect us to? I say we give 'em a hell of a game.

There is 0.0 doubt we can beat them if we play our hammer game.

I'm not sure I understand the definition of "our hammer game," Muggs.

We gonna take a hit out on Sanogo?

[GoldenEagles03]

Curbelo and Alexander are so overrated it isn't even funny.  People like Top 5's...well there are easily 5 PGs in the league I'd take over them.

Thankfully, we have one of them.

It means we can introduce them to darkness when we play our A game.  The combination of good shot selection, low turns, stifling and pestiferous D, and holding our own on the glass will get it done on 1/11.

Yes, it would be wonderful if we did all that.

[PGsHeroes32]

I dont think we beat Uconn. Not a knock on our guys, I just think they are a terrible match up for us and have been for a while.

Itll take a year where we have the vast experience to offset the size of their style of player compared to ours imo.

Obviously not impossible we win especially at home. But they are the ones I truly just dont think happen.

Lets beat Nova saturday, that will be tough as hell but we can definitely do it.

[MuggsyB]

It's very doable but we have to be +6 or more in FT makes and not have sustained lapses.

I agree their bigs are a problem for sure.  But I think we can cause them a lot of headaches with our versatility.

Absolutely.  I'd take Kolek 1st overall in the Big East PG draft.

Agree completely. Just focus on what is happening on the court.
