The year Terry got fired but having a shitty team didn’t we beat Arkansas in a secret scrimmage or some shit?  

The year we played Arkansas was the year Beard got fired/we went to the Elite 8. They allowed fans/it was for charity and we kicked the ever-living shit out of them.

I believe we scrimmaged TCU and Colorado last year and beat both of them.

Again, scrimmage scores should be taken with a grain of salt.  Not all coaches treat them like real games - rest certain starters, put out weird lineup combos, limit minutes, etc.

Not a huge surprise, other than maybe Swain who I recall seeing in a couple of NBA mock drafts over the summer. I'm curious who will step up to be that clutch time, go-to scorer, as nobody on the roster has been that guy consistently yet in their career. Our entire roster seems to be role players, which I acknowledge you can get away with more in college than the NBA, but I have concerns about where our scoring/outside shooting will come from. It should be an interesting season to get a feel for how the recruiting/portal piece of the puzzle develops. Its a transition year and there wasn't much left here in Austin, but we didn't hire Miller to field rosters like this.

I have appropriately low expectations, because the talent is limited. However, I think the coaching improvement will be better than many of us are expecting. Or, by definition do I actually have higher expectations because I’ve predicted results better than my expectations? Oh no, I’ve gone cross-eyed.

^^^ although, i have no way of knowing at this very moment, coach miller probably did not play both of our big men, just like the scrimmage with SMU.  however, 91-72 is a pretty LARGE point spread to lose by to TCU in a closed-door scrimmage.  i wonder what happened?  coach miller is a very experienced coach.  he probably was not aiming to win this...

I figured as much, but I thought the BOB acting like that was hilariously immature

I'm not too worried about that top-100 list.  We have a few players who could easily be on there.  Tramon Mark was #71 on a similar list last year and he is back with another year of experience and a better coach. Dailyn Swain is ranked #74 by On3 for this year.  

Traore was 2x All Big-West and set to be one of Xavier's top 1-2 players before he got hurt last year.  Pope and Weaver are going to be better off the bench than the 2nd unit of almost anyone we play.  Vokietaitis was AAC RoY and will be good.  

There are a lot of pieces to work with.  If they gel and play as a team we will be able to beat anybody.  If they don't, we will be in the bottom half of the SEC and have to grind to make the tourney.
