The article makes sense as our best win is a neutral site victory over Clemson. Almost makes tomorrow's Creighton game a must win.
Should we be worried

Let me try this one more time. The article is by Matt Norlander and he goes on to make a point we have the weakest resume for a top team.

Yet we are 16 in RPI and 20 in SOS. The article is just one man's opinion, and a sports writer's opinion at that.

Re: Should we be worried
It's Jan 15th.
8 weeks from today is Selection Sunday.
If X's best win is still Clemson, then we should be worried.
Still have Creighton tomorrow - 3rd straight game against a team ranked in the top 12.
Home games against Nova and Butler.
At UC.
Plus Marquette is 35th in KenPom ratings so a win against them would be good.
And Seton Hall and Gtown are just outside the top 50.
Got to win at home tomorrow.

Re: Should we be worried
so much for that win. I think the bigger issue isn't losing to a top 10 team at home but losing to a top 10 team at home when their best player gets hurt. If X were really that good, they would have dominated after that. X can easily play their way to tournament but zero quality wins today and frankly, they are just not as good as Creighton, Nova, and likely Seton Hall. I think they beat Butler at home but thats the only game i see against top tier team. I see them losing to UC as well. The Miles Davis infusion is not working. I realize you have to play him to get him back where he was but he struggles on both sides of the floor. Heck even missed 2 FTs today.

I think X pulls it together. That said, they need to check thu he mentally. Free throws and turnovers killed them today ( and the TOs were self inflicted). Should not happen at home.

Re: Should we be worried
Macura played well on defense and he caused a few big turnovers. But on the offensive end in crunchtime is not getting the ball enough he is their best 3 pt weapon on this team and to not get it to him is just sad. Just no excuse losing to this team without their top pg Watson.

Re: Should we be worried
I'm disgusted today been awhile since i have been so disappointed in this team. But 8 weeks left and I will never forget our first elite 8 run.We were like 12-11 at one point.So hopefully these 3 games are the wake up call these players need.

This team is a mess. No real game plan on offense and too many turnovers. There seems to be no fight in this team, and we haven't hit a big shot when it mattered in a while.

Re: Should we be worried
No go to player really hurts this team. Add to that we have no leadership whatsoever. Looks to me like a bunch of individuals trying to play a team sport. I wonder what the chemistry is like?
