Re: Xavier Basketball

What a great ride. This team has completely salvaged a lost season and made watching Xavier basketball fun again. Can't wait until 1 tomorrow; I never thought I'd be so excited about a game with St. Bonaventure!

Mark Schmidt will feel the wrath of his former employer.

Re: Xavier Basketball

Xavier continues it's impressive streak of S16 appearances. Tough draw in Baylor, though. If they win this game, color me extremely impressed. They certainly have the backcourt talent to win, but Baylor is a long and athletic squad that can beat you a number of different ways.

When all else fails they can blind you with their uniforms.

Re: Xavier Basketball

We'll be rooting for X vs Baylor, I'm sure you'll give Kentucky the same treatment.

Re: Xavier Basketball

So if anyone here has inside info I'd love to know. I have a really hard time buying that XU forced its best player, Lyons out of the program, effectively kicking him off the team. I've skimmed Xavier message boards but the noise there right now is pretty high for obv reasons, but its really hard for me to buy that he was a "cancer" or "divided the locker room" or other stuff I read there. As a fan of a rival team, I always thought he played extremely hard, sure he talked a bit too much but it's not that big of a deal, and overall seemed like a guy you'd love to have on your team. Isn't it more likely that all the guys he came into the Xavier with were leaving and he didn't think he could get to a F4 so why not transfer to a place like Arizona that should be loaded this year?

This doesnt shed much light onto the situation.

But this does:

“After our end of the season meeting with Mark it became apparent that a change for both parties was the right thing moving forward,” said Coach Chris Mack. “During our meeting expectations were outlined for his fifth and final season, areas in which I believe needed improvement. Mark did not recognize these expectations as being important and ultimately it was decided that a change of scenery would be in his best interest. I wish Mark well.”

Re: Xavier Basketball

Bad news for the basketball program on Victory Parkway today. Not going to be a fun year. Last losing season was '95-'96. May not be able to say that anymore in six months...

Rough news for sure. Though there may be some good news on the recruiting front to soften the blow.
