I think he will awesome next year with Zuby and Prey.
Poor Vince
Poor Vince
Wish him luck at Hofstra.
I would actually be very happy if come Sept 2025... Zuby/Vince/Prey/Maker were our Bigs going into the season
Agreed. Im in the minority but think Vince hasn’t been that bad. Obviously still a work in progress but much better than some of the 7 footers we’ve had in the past.

Vince should not be allowed to take more than one dribble per possession....two max!
With the ball in the post he is far from a stiff. But the lack of space he takes up for such a big kid is maddening!
Keeping Zuby and getting Prey to get where he can replace Scott at the 4 are my goals for next year.
Went to SJU game out there in, say, 2020. Great mid-size arena. Real seats. Good views. X crowd sitting behind us was welcoming. Aisles and hallways were wide. Concessions and souvenir/fan shops were good. Had a kinda' Hall of Fame space. The model we should look at if we ever pull the trigger on a new arena.

Am assuming that Wilcher won't be starting tonight. Will be interesting to see how long he sits on the bench.
Next year with a little development, Zuby and Prey could both spend time at the four spot.
I just don't see us going with a lineup that big but what do I know.
Prey and the five and Zuby at the four or Vice versa? Vince at the five and Zuby at the four ?
I don't see us going with Zuby & Prey exclusively at the four; college game has changed too much for that.
Ok. Here is my hot take on this game tonight.
I think this is a great spot for us. We got lucky in regards to our shooting so bad and still winning thanks to good defense and timely plays towards the end vs butler. I think our guys know how terrible they have been shooting the ball more than us fans.
Also there were not too many days off from the butler game and no weather issues getting to Xavier and love the comments made by guys on the team.
I think they come out and play the type of game everyone says why can’t they do this every game. I’m sure they understand how important this game is and what a fine line a tremendous season we could have could turn into oh no not again.
I see this game as a cover for us (yea a win as the line is 1-1/2) but I see it more in the 7-12 point range.
Now go play inspired ball Johnnie’s!!!!

Standing next to them, I agree, his height does make him look awesome. Even standing on the court it does, but when tipoff occurs, not so much.
He is a huge project and if he sees major minutes next year it means one of three things with two of them being bad:
1. We lost at least two out of Zuby, Vince or Reuben and either didn’t replace them or replaced them with l
projects
2. Our big man rotation has been decimated by injuries
3. Maker has made such tremendous strides in his overall game in one year, the likes that have never been seen here before and probably will never be again.
As for tonight,
Just win!!!
