It's the end of Conference 2023 What Have We Learned?

[Xuperman]

We learned at SJ once again that our board of trustees seriously does not care about winning above all. Pitino wants to come here but our board is STILL shunning him. Yes, really. This is why we've been so awful for so long since Lavin. Our board truly does not care. They scared away our best donor Mike Repole who still hates us and refuses to be involved and on top of that they will let Georgetown get Pitino. Our destiny is battling DePaul for basement honors another 20 yrs.

Get Colgate's Matt Langel and be done with it. You have plenty of quality talent but that 5th gear style of play is not a reliable/predictable way to get 10+ wins in this conference.

Fun Year. I think a healthy Xavier is the best team in the league.

Xavier was healthy when they lost at DePaul right?

I agree with you here. I get SJU previously being hesitant to bring in a coach with a...let's call it questionable past, but that door opened with Sean Miller joining the league. Pitino's fair game now IMO.

Maybe reinforced is a better term than learned in this case, but Coaching matters! The turn around from Steele to Miller has been amazing! Next year might be rough with Jones and Freemantle likely moving on to the professional level, but I have faith in the second Miller era at X!
