Banter on the Parkway

It's a quick special edition before the Crosstown Shootout and we're talking history, who could be a surprise bright spot, and briefly glancing around the rest of the Big East in preparation for the best rivalry in college ball.

With Crosstown week upon us, heads are momentarily turned by a monumental mess in DC. We'll talk about where Patrick Ewing can go from here, look at what UC has done so far, and decide who this game matters more to. That and more on this episode of Banter.

We're live from our parents house to talk about surprising DePaul, whether Xavier's three point shooting or penchant for turnovers is a bigger concern, Jason Carter, and which is the worst Thanksgiving food choice you can make. All that and more today on Banter on the Parkway.

Today we look at a successful trip to Charleston, what we learned about this team, and what the rest of the Big East is up to as we roll into the Thanksgiving break.

Xavier heads to Charleston without a blemish on their record. We talk bad shooting (again), Kyky Tandy coming to the rescue, what this team's ceiling is, and why Christmas music should wait until December.

We have a look around college basketball, see why accepting moving money and driving drunk are basically the same thing, check in on the Big East, and preview the Charleston Classic field on this episode of the dispatches.

Xavier beat Missouri after trying very hard to beat themselves. We talk about picking up a tough win over a good team, Joel explains why offensive efficiency is down across basketball, and we talk about what can be fixed about the shooting woes so far.

The start of the week is the perfect time to see what else is happening in college basketball. This week dispatches come in about the Big East, a Ken Pom defensive marvel, a quick peek at Missouri's lock down defense, and what exactly is going in Memphis. It's quick, it's concise, it's The Dispatches.

It's mostly positive after a comfortable opening win, but what about the three point shooting? That, why we think this is a second weekend team, how Jason Carter fits, and some brief static from a police radio all in a brand new episode.

We get Banter on the Parkway started with a quick preview of who to watch out for in the Big East and which coach should be looking over his shoulder.
