October 21Oct 21 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.

October 21Oct 21 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.

Let's go!
October 24Oct 24 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.
October 24Oct 24 I have no idea what to expect from this team other than they won't be title contenders. Im just hoping to somehow see a .500 or slightly better conference record.
October 24Oct 24 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.

October 27Oct 27 ^^^ 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...

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.

October 29Oct 29 In those days, I don't think I would have considered Dr. J (6' 7") a "small forward". Congrats to Dailyn for sure.
October 30Oct 30 Not because it is easy, but because they're on TV more than Leave It To Beaver re-runs.

Sure, the defensive efficiency will likely be worse, and we'll lose a couple games because we miss way too many threes, but I doubt we are going to be complaining about a general lack of competitiveness and lack of offensive identity around here. That'll be a nice change. Edited October 30Oct 30 by MuellerHorn
October 30Oct 30 I haven't been this excited for Longhorn hoops since neither Rodney Terry nor Shaka Smart was head coach here.
October 30Oct 30 Haven’t paid any attention to the roster since Miller was hired. Is this a tourney team or does he need another year to clean up the mess he inherited?
October 31Oct 31 Haven’t paid any attention to the roster since Miller was hired. Is this a tourney team or does he need another year to clean up the mess he inherited?It has a chance to be a tourney team but there’s no true point / ball handler and it’s not clear who we rely on when when we need to create a shot or draw a foul in crunch time.Currently looks like a lot of guys who could average 8-11 points a game… but Miller comes in with a reputation of running an offense that gets players good shots so that side of the ball should be more entertaining.

A Miller offense without a PG is trash so let’s hope he finds one.
October 31Oct 31 That's whats so odd about this era of basketball. Rosters can turnover almost completely every year even when the coach is stable. Throw in a new coach and I have no f'n idea what to expect. I'm skeptical about our guard play, but who the fuck knows, maybe Miller finds a way to make these pieces work and some of these guys develop into reliable shooters that work in his system. We have size all over, thats for sure. Its just amusing to me that I cant even speculate in my mind about what its really gonna look like when we open with......Duke, lulz.

Yeah I know we gonna open the season 0-1, so that Duke game just needs to be looked at as an exhibition/scrimmage, because we gonna get killed.
