1 game, yes, but still the same problems.
Still lackluster offensively, still can't shoot, still can't make free throws.
Just makes me wonder what they worked on all offseason. I know xavier is a fine team and that they were trying to win too (something people often forget), but I never feel like there's any true improvement from season to season. Least of all tonight. It's a problem.
I wanted to see improvement in our weakest areas, and I wanted to see us start a season looking good for a change. Dammit guys.

Should've recruited a shooter. I can understand being a new coach, inheriting players, but he's had 2 full recruiting seasons.he's big into half court defense, but there's no point if you can't score. Ut is a better team than Xavier.
5 star Robert Hubbs is supposed to be the " shooter". I'm sure he will develop into one but we shouldn't have to rely on a freshman with all the upper class men on this team.

This is a loss I'm perfectly ok with. First game of the season, against a perennial tournament team, on the road, lots of new faces in our squad, we play horridly with only one guy really showing up, shoot 25% from the line, and lose only by four. We learn from it, take our lesson, and it's a memory for how things can go if we don't come out ready. That loss will create some bigger wins later...including against XU when we face them again next month.
