0.1% chance of 15-5 in the Big East. So you’re telling me there’s a chance.

Too close to UC for comfort. An embarrassing amount of Big East teams nearby too.

If you strip out the impact of preseason projections, UC ranks 316th in offensive efficiency, second to last among high major schools. Seems bad.

If I only look at games since November 15th Xavier is playing like a top 15 team. Can’t put a price on that.

Ran a Big East Tournament simulation on Torvik two different ways: (1) the normal way, taking all data into account, and (2) using only games since late January, which roughly equates to everyone’s last ten games.

Dailyn Swain started to get much more aggressive with the @ Marquette game. Prior to that, he was generally being used on ~15% of possessions during BE play. That’s increased to ~20% in the games since. During that time, Swain ranks as the 4th best player in the BE. Data from @barttorvik.bsky.social

Xavier is 4-1 following the underwhelming home performance against St. John’s. During that time, they have the 4th best defensive efficiency in the nation.
