Mount St. Mary, Eastern Michigan, and Detroit being the three worst teams in DI or not whooping up on them is good.
Exhibition games or not beating Dayton and Tennessee is good.

Starting the season at 50 on Kenpom and up ten spots to 40 after 3 buy games. That’ll do, that’ll do.

I’ll be pretty disappointed if Xavier isn’t in the NCAA Tournament this year. Roster Spending: $14M+ which is in tier 4 nationally. 49 teams are in the top 4 tiers. With the expanded field, at large caliber cutline is likely top 50-55. cbssports.com/college-basket…

Tru Washington: 28 MPG on 2 different at large teams (New Mexico and U Miami) Ruben Dominguez: 23 MPG on at large team last year (Texas A&M) Mike Nwoko: 13 and 6 in the SEC last year and starter on at large team year before with Miss St Pozatto and Westry wild cards.

Some questions for sure but this is Richard Pitino’s chance to prove it. He got a pass year one: first season, low spending. With a year under his belt and the funding level necessary to win I need to see the NCAA Tournament this year.

Villanova and Notre Dame play on Sunday in Rome. Pope Leo is a Villanova alum. The pope presumably knowing who Jovan Milicevic is absolutely tickles me.

Leaving now when you have an opportunity to compete for and win the national championship (even if it’s unlikely) is insane to me.
Lane Kiffin wanted to keep coaching Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff despite taking the job at LSU but he says he was DENIED the chance by Ole Miss AD Keith Carter. Kiffin says he is looking forward to his new start at LSU and will forever cherish the incredible six years he spent at Ole Miss, adding that he'll be "rooting hard" for the program to complete their mission of bringing a national championship to Oxford.

So you’re telling me in 2025 Xavier had two future NBA draft picks (one 1st rounder + one 2nd rounder) as well as another All Big East player (5th year senior!) and Sean Miller barely made the NCAA Tournament with that group?

The Nova Knicks. Crazy that X took down number 1 Villanova in 2016 with all three of these guys. And then won the Big East regular season outright in 2018 (Hart was gone at that point but still).

With the core of the roster set I’m very pleased. Massive props to the administration for getting their shit together, the donors and fans for helping provide the funds, and Richard Pitino and the coaching staff for reeling in all their top targets. This type of alignment rocks

Do we like getting a big body for post depth that has multiple years of eligibility and some upside? Yes we do.
