Xavier has not been flat out just a bad bad team in almost 45 years. The not so good to bad teams of late have all either been fairly competitive or had pretty extenuating circumstances that resulted in them being bad.15 Nov 2025 02:42 +0000at://did:plc:7wkgmoiqclwdagh2rctfedit/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5n6c7jhnc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/retirefiftytu.bsky.social/post/3m5dbgbutak2gThat was awful to watch.

X might struggle offensively this year. Not a lot of guys that can create their own offense and good looks for others and the outside shooting or lack thereof is troublesome. If this game was in Dec X probably wins, execution was very sloppy.19 Oct 2025 00:07 +0000at://did:plc:7wkgmoiqclwdagh2rctfedit/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3iz3aa4g22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/retirefiftytu.bsky.social/post/3llarwp73ts271. Definitely a bit surprised Mack was turned down. I would’ve been fine with him but not crestfallen or anything. 2. I probably would’ve chosen someone else over Pitino, but I definitely don’t hate it 3.

Feels kind of crazy to bring back another former coach immediately after the last guy just totally burned you. But also feels a little nuts not to bring back someone with as much success as Mack.25 Mar 2025 12:19 +0000at://did:plc:7wkgmoiqclwdagh2rctfedit/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll7axeh3y22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/retirefiftytu.bsky.social/post/3ll2vfyopw22iFool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.23 Mar 2025 18:42 +0000at://did:plc:7wkgmoiqclwdagh2rctfedit/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll2vfyopw22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/retirefiftytu.bsky.social/post/3lkrz34r3ks23That was awesome.

And they don’t have to answer for it. They do these interviews where they talk a lot without actually saying anything and don’t explain it and we just move on and forget about it because the games start.17 Mar 2025 01:11 +0000at://did:plc:7wkgmoiqclwdagh2rctfedit/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkjxvvgsgc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/retirefiftytu.bsky.social/post/3lkgjhwtrl22pWith Memphis, VCU, UC San Diego, Boise State as AQ’s I would have it right now: Last Four Byes Avoiding Dayton Oklahoma West Virginia Baylor Arkansas Last Four In San Diego State Vanderbilt Xavier North Carolina First Four Out Indiana Colorado State Texas UC Irvine15 Mar 2025 16:15 +0000at://did:plc:7wkgmoiqclwdagh2rctfedit/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkgjhwtrl22phttps://bsky.app/profile/retirefiftytu.bsky.social/post/3lkezk7xq222aJust wait until the media gets word that Travis Steele and John Groce are half-brothers and playing each other for the MAC Championship tomorrow night.

Also, has any school fallen off harder than Temple? Perennial NCAA Tournament team from 1984-2001, missing just once. Went six years in a row from 2008-2013. Have been just twice since, last in 2019, haven’t even made the NIT since then.

I don’t see the case for Boise or Colorado State as an at-large. Neither are top 50 in any of the three resume metrics. MWC is one to watch for bid thief potential.
