Creighton is having another $1 beer night promotion tomorrow evening. The Creighton Fans and McDermott got Lavin to attend since he always references it on FS1.
SJU may need to revert to some good promotions to get people in the stands for the rest of the season. $1 beer night at CA that would be some scene.

At Carnesecca Arena the beer would be warm and flat and they would charge you $8 and tell you it will be colder, better and cost only $8.50 Next Year.

Per Rivals.com
Xavier clearly has done great job taking raw post players & making it work over time. Latest seven foot candidate;
"Six years ago, Xavier head coach Chris Mack went out and grabbed a rather under the radar pick-up via the transfer wire in Matt Stainbrook. At the time, the giant 6-foot-10 center by way of Western Michigan was coming off of a decent sophomore campaign within the MAC but it was his development within the Musketeers’ basketball program that aided in its run to the 2015 Sweet 16; could Xavier have struck again with a big in a similar mold?
Its first commitment in the 2018 class, Jake Walter is someone that is far from where he needs to be in order to contribute and produce for a consistent Big East contender. However, Walter does have the size, hands, feel in the low post and interior production capabilities that could some day make him a major cog within Mack’s system.
Just like Stainbrook, Walter has to get into better shape upon arriving in Cincinnati but he is also similar to the former WMU transfer where he plays hard, has a firm comprehension of how to score with his back to the basket, and can make the proper pass out of the double team.
Walter is not a deal breaker for Xavier but he is someone that should fit in well within the confines of the Big East program. The Musketeers worked wonders with Stainbrook and the same magic could be rekindled again upon the enrollment of Walter in the fall."

Australian top 100 power forward Sam Froling verbally committed to Creighton.
Creighton is another successful program, adept at integrating guys into their system. Most probably won't be NBA players, but who cares. Having a winning college program is the goal obviously, not NBA representation.

Integration is not our specialty. ........disintegration is!
Per Evan Daniels, another excellent addition to join his brother
2018 forward Joey Hauser is enrolling early at Marquette. The four-star prospect will redshirt this season, then have four seasons of eligibility. High-level recruit for Steve Wojciechowski. #mubb

Ryan Arcidiacono played in his second NBA game last night and made a huge impact on both ends of the floor.
He finished with 8 points, 4 assists and some big hustle plays to help the team take the W:
10 flops as well.
