Another gut punch in a season becoming full of them (Kansas State, Seton Hall). Just have to hope it doesn't become too many for our core guys in the Portal Era.

Every clutch Xavier possession ends in a layup or dunk. Make them make a Editeding shot.

The crunch time execution is something else

I expected us to be better than this, this year. And I believe that expectation was fair. This is disappointing.

I really really hope to see a major leap in the quality of play next season. Doesn't look like we'll be getting it this year.

Realistically, this team doesn't seem much better than last year.

Program remains an absolute joke. What a bitter disappointment.

Spending millions on this program just to get humiliated by the worst teams in the country. Again.

Welp. At least we're used to this.

Look, the competition obviously was as weak as it gets. But the ball was moving, guys were getting on the floor for loose balls, they were communicating defensively, and they seemed to be having fun. They blew out a team they're supposed to beat. They looked like a real basketball team. The lower bowl was mostly full and having a good time.
For a first game, couldn't ask for more than that.

Can't complain about that! Keep pushing!

I'm overall positive on the direction of the program, and how recruiting is going. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated to see Pitino absolutely killing it immediately.

Can we have a larger conversation about expectations? We've gone 2-38 the past two years. We've brought in (and shipped out) some talent, but I haven't seen national commentators raving about our moves or anything. People seriously think this is a tournament team?
I want to look like a real basketball team again, and win 5-6 games in conference. That would be serious progress.

My expectations are to simply be competitive in the Big East this season. That means winning a few games (5 or more probably) and looking like a real basketball team. Given the amount we're investing in this program, both in the head coach and (seemingly) in NIL, in 2024 I expect to make a serious push for the NCAA tournament.

How are we grading recruiting at this juncture? Feel like we're at a C+.

It's fair to say Dickinson is very unlikely to happen. We need to be nimble and ready to pounce on alternative options for building the roster.
