Lead From The Front: Sean Miller Didn't Know If Xavier Could Ever Play The Game Of Basketball Again Because UConn Kicked Their Ass So Bad

It's important to note he's saying this after a win! This was last night after they beat St. John's, days after they got their ass kicked by UConn. I mean, sure, it was a blowout - 99-56 - but saying you didn't know if Xavier could ever play the game of basketball again is fucking hilarious. Not like you lost to DePaul or Georgetown. You got your ass kicked by one of the three best teams in the country. It happens. Might as well shut down the program! 

I'll say this about Sean, he's without doubt one of the guys you want to listen to mic'd up. He's not afraid to say anything, obviously, since he said he didn't know how they'd ever play again. Something about guys in Ohio and not being afraid I suppose. Theme of the week here. Well that and ass kickings. I'm digressing. This is about leading from the front. Sometimes you gotta admit you're as low as low gets, even after a win. 

I don't know if I ever recall a coach saying this - even in a joking manner. I don't want to give UConn any more ammo - they have had enough success for my liking - but this should be their slogan. Play this on loop in the locker room. We beat teams so bad they shut down their programs. It might be an even bigger success that Xavier beat St. John's last night if this is what they were talking about. You know Sean Miller is crazy enough to say this during an entire practice. Something goes wrong, just keep telling them that they lost so bad you're shutting it down. 

Still can't believe he publicly admitted this. It's gotta be some sort of Oz the Mentalist type trick. Only thing I can think of is going reverse psychology and having everyone forget that they are playing Xavier so they can sneak into the Tournament.
