Xavier basketball, with some occasional Bengals and credit markets mixed in
Oops the list resorted on me. Either way we are too close for comfort.

If I wanted to cherry pick, since instituting the current starting lineup Xavier ranks 50th in offensive efficiency. It’s only three games though.

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

Meanwhile Drake’s top three contributors were all non seniors and followed McCollum to Iowa.
Like I said, I have no idea how the Pitino hire will ultimately shake out, but this comparison you’re trying to make it just not apples to apples.

1. Drake is two hours from Iowa. New Mexico is nowhere near Cincinnati. Very different dynamic right off the bat.
2. Three of NM’s top five contributors last year were seniors.
3. I’m sure Xavier would love to have Dent, but he went back home to UCLA for like $3mm.

I mean, one was able to bring a ton of players with him, including Bennett Stirtz. The other quite literally had to build an entire roster via the transfer portal.
I have no idea how Pitino will turn out for Xavier, but this is kind of an absurd take given the situations.

On the other end, I’ve got Butler, Creighton, Seton Hall, St John’s, and Villanova each with one returner in the starting lineup. And since Roddie sat out last year, Xavier has zero.

Marq has no transfers and no freshmen starting. Although Sean Jones was out last season, so let’s say four returners.
Then I’ve got DePaul, Georgetown, and UConn each with three returners in the starting lineup.

Out of curiosity, do you also have WP lost by not getting the first down on 4th down attempts?
