Xavier just lost at home to DePaul, and DePaul was missing 2 key players. Xavier has lost 3 of their last 5,with 2 of those losses being at home. Xavier is a very beatable team.OhioFan post=455650 said:
Only games I really don't like our chances in is @Marquette. Marquette has looked amazing, their defense is on point and they play hard for the entire 40 minutes and they like to play fast and press a little bit as well, it's going to be a tough match-up for us.
Every other game is winnable, especially if Nova is without Gillipse.

I agree. Wusu will start at pg w/ Posh out. And Stef smith will back him up. Id rather have either of those guys then Archidachano. He is awful.Tommy O 54 post=455647 said:
And it will be important to start coburn over mathis with wusu at pg. You cannot play wusu and mathis together big minutes. That will kill us.

CMA is not going to start Coburn over Mathis, at this point in the year he doesn't like tinkering with his lineups too much as he likes everyone comfortable in their role heading into the home stretch. And Coburn seems to finally be getting in a groove and finding his role with this team. Wusu is the back up PG, so he'll start if Posh is unable to go. That's also going to mean more minutes for Smith and Coburn. Hopefully Posh is ready to go though, he came in and played for a couple minutes after he was taking out.Duke of Earlington post=455652 said:
We never had a guy who played harder then posh. We never had a guy we needed to do more then we need posh. That man is a sju hall of fame player for us. I can't figure how we can win any of those game without him. Coach wikk say next man up, but in this case he won't feel these will be winnable. Posh gives so much it aint right for him to get hurt bad steppen on a guys tow.
Good game from the team. It appears that Joel and Aaron are catching up to CMA's offensive game. Joel played big minutes today, 28, and stayed out of foul trouble; also, he does not attempt shots away from the basket. Aaron is now more in the flow of the game and is showing a lot more confidence. He is starting to look like a natural for CMA's style. Omar's 1/2 from the line was "unexpected", getting 1 of 2 from him is a gift.
On Redstorm Report, CMA noted the FT problem and rightly addressed it in yesterday's practice. Also, he discussed the conditioning issues relevant at this point in the season and cutting back on practicing to enhance the game time energy level which also benefitted from a day with practice of only FT's.
While I want to see Posh against Nova, it will probably be a game time decision. We did play 2 games late last season w/o him and had 2 wins. I want him for as many games as possible so foregoing one to enhance the cure makes sense to me.

We had a backup point guard last year and others who could give ya a couple of minutes. Has waz learned not to dribble into a crowd yet? Don't matter if he gets there cause it gets blocked. Guys on this board made it know we needed another pg and those guys were right on. I hope waz never has to fill that role again.
The pre game and halftime warm-ups got me laughing how heads might scratch if team only came out with defensive walk throughs and warm ups were done.
Layup type line of Tons of blocked shots, swipes, swats, elbows on backs.
Psychological warfare vs Jay Wright.

Or maybe they are the type of practice you have whenthe team plays 4 games in 8 days, including travel to DC to Indy to home.L J S A post=455675 said:
