Nova uses 2 defensive schemes per 4 minute period. It is no secret how he has been able to elevate the program relative to his predecessor, and he didn't get the ball on the 2yard line either (getting sick of the baseball analogy).

AH bids all Muskie Fans a good night.

I think we can expect to see a lot of pressure after made baskets from now on.Goodin is filling in nicely for Ed but the lack of a backup PG is going to be a major concern.

Spot on about the lack of backup PG. NOVA has about 7 defensive variations. Seems we and other schools should be able to copy them. Of course, you need players with the mental awareness to remember all the schemes. I have to call Coach Wright the best bball coach in the NCAA currently. :ugeek:

87,

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, me has to get up early tomorrow. I'm a fan of all former X Coaches, especially ones who elevated the program before leaving. Our loss was Arizona's tremendous game.
thanks For update as well Didn't watch the game but saw Arizona is now 22-3. Like him or not, Elite 8 with X and 2 Elite 8s at Arizona and a few S16s and consistently in in top 10 is hard not to like during his time at Arizona while inheriting a mess of a program with their two best players leaving. i like Sean particularly, because he is still a Xavier guy (other than the Cadillac comment). Still appreciated how he (and Matta) supported X after the brawl. One thing for sure, from Staak to Miller, program got better with each new coach by the time they left. hoping that Mack takes X to Final Four and moves needle forward from Miller.

Wasn't that a Buick vs a Lexus?
Ironic at the time because the Buick had a higher rating from Motor Trend,

The Lexus that we lost to Ohio State is running like a Yugo these days. I bet they are calling for his head in Columbus.

Archie Miller will be the next Ohio State coach according to my sources.

Why would Archie take a step down?
