Semifinals of the Big East Championship 3/10/23

Tip of the cap to XU. Jays were beaten soundly and I didn’t think you’d be better without Freemantle, but you might be somehow. Should be a fun game tonight.

Some on our board argue it's a net neutral off/def exchange from Free to Hunter. Hunter can score 8-10 and probably prevent 4-6 that Zach wouldn't, but reality says you don't lose a POY caliber guy and get better....Freemantle was playing the best ball of his career. Not to mention, X is severely thin frontcourt.

IMO, it is a classic example of a Coach/staff getting the best complete team performance at exactly the right time. Individually ALL of our guys are running really hot....peak effort/production on full display. Colby Jones became a different player that night in Providence. He's become Jalen Brunson.
