Xavier BET Game Thread

[The Sultan]

n what universe is a -5 in four minutes of action not a problem?

I am not reading this whole thing, but will just answer this question.

I never claimed it wasn't a problem. I am claiming that the problem has been exaggerated by many posters who, you know, can just look up the data.

For instance...

We lost this game with the 9 and 8 point runs by Xavier when Hamilton was in the game....

And...

Xavier had a 9 - 0 run this half and an 8 - 0 run in the first half when Hamilton was in the game.....

This didn't happen. We can have discussions about a player without resorting to exaggerations.

As Ben Steele said, Hamilton and Norman are not BE-level players even on a rotational basis. As a result, the only depth MU had was Phillips and Owens. Phillips played like a freshman all season and made a ton of mistakes. Owens was spotty but played a little better down the stretch. Owens still did not provide reliable bench play and still has a lot to prove. Clark remains a project who is pretty clueless on the floor. As a result, MU had only 5 guys who could play and it took the freshmen and Parham a number of games to start playing like BE players. The fault lies with Shaka in grossly overestimating the team's talent. Norman, Hamilton, and Jones, at a minimum, need to join Lowery.
