Ky le played a bad game and his minutes were given to Brooks who played very well Gary had a double double. How is that wasting them. We won by 30. Cut down on TO's,sharpen up the defense and improve out transition up tempo offense and we will be fine. All and all about what I expected for our first game playing a new style with TC not on the floor.

I actually think many of his 3s have been very close kind of in and out type shots. His confidence is great but when you can get to the rack like he can... I would limit the 3s. |

Offensive was absolutely FINE by all measures,
Sure we had a 20 TO's but we played in a game with 92 possessions which is bat shit crazy for a high major team. For Context Xavier has never played in a 90+ possession game with Matt, Mack nor Miller coaching, nor has wichita state played a 90+ possession game with Marshall as the coach. This was a glorified rec ball game and just like the pickup games I play, their is a lot of sloppy TO's from the pace of play. We were extremely productive at 1.16 points per possession. And our Defense was also extremely production at .84 points per possession. IMO TO's get cut down by 4 if Evans returns to his normal ball protecting self and averages just 1 TO a game, Then factor in that cane will not play at this pace the rest of the season and IMO that eliminates at least 2 turnovers. So were down to 14. 14 is still high but again, some of those were caused by extreme pace we simply will not play again. IMO we end up averaging 11-12 TO a game and I personally can live with that if we faster and more productive on offense. |

End of the day you know that Mick is going to prioritize getting that number as close to ten as possible. As he said on the postgame interview, "You can't rebound a turnover." |

We won't play another game like the one we played on Friday for a long time. All that team does is run and try to control the tempo, they pressed on MISSED shots which I've never seen before in my entire life.
Season doesn't start until the Caymans, but if you're looking for something to over-analyse between now and then look at tonight's game or Thursday's game. Friday's game was an aberration. |

He starts making some 3's and then teams can't sag off him. |

I agree. The key is shot selection. If they are open, in rhythm, fire away. If not, try to get to the rim which he can definitely do. I'm not losing sleep or changing my perception of any player on this team (positive or negative) based on one game.
