Perhaps but up 30+ in the 1st H is impressive. X couldn't shoot the ball and it got stuck in Naji's hands too much last year. They are sharing the ball nicely and hitting shots. That alone is a big step forward.

I’ll chalk it up to pent up demand, Chap.

I know it’s against Oakland, but damn.

You'd lose the first half alone at +40. Crazy.

Between the “Naji Effect” and Gooden’s negative value added last year, sharing the ball became a pipe dream.

What a difference a year makes, but especially for Steele as he takes full command of this program.

Naji was talented but always thought the offense stalled when they played through him. Addition by subtraction imo.

If they can make Tandy & Odom backcourt work long term, man that's a fun duo. Kinda reminds me of Ponds and Lovette a couple years ago.

X is looking scary good and 2 key players are out, Jones and wilcher. I'm actually impressed tbh, the ball movement as well, what a breathe of fresh air compared to last year. Granted it Oakland but still.

I'm pretty sure they'd have gotten more defensive resistance from 5 traffic cones lol


I mean it's like Oakland's coach game planned with last season's Xavier scouting report.
