Back in September, I was certain Emmitt Holt would be this team’s “gotta-have-a-basket scorer,” believed Alpha Diallo could potentially be the most improved player in the conference, and figured a healthy Kyron Cartwright would push for 1st Team All Big East.
Two of those players weren’t on the floor on Saturday, and the third was a shell of himself.
If the past six years under Ed Cooley have taught us anything, it’s that his teams typically go through a December or January swoon before figuring it all out in February. Chances are, that will be the case again this season.
