Title game

[XU-PA]

Here we go!

ESPN2 at 5pm.

[XU-PA]

9-0 run in 3 and a half minutes. same thing as the last 2 games, need to keep the pedal down for the next 36 and a half minutes,

[XU-PA]

at the 13:45 mark, temple finally scored, a three

14-6 now just over 13 minutes to go.

Is there any way a Xavier opponent looks at some recent history and says ok, let them go on a little run, then when they start to get confident start to push???

[xumuskies08]

I'm watching here in Kansas, great start so far!

edit...just saw Temple hit those 2 3's...

[HomerCecil]

I know she's open, but I don't know that Special needs to be shooting threes from NBA range.

[XU-PA]

Agreed HC, someone said that Coach Mc was given the gals hell yesterday for passing up the open looks outside, so I suspect they are following orders.

It appears that when they take what Temple is giving up, the easy outside shots, they are just going on an average pace. When they pursue the post, and pound the ball to T and Amber, they are playing more at their talent level.
Temple's D looks like a weird box zone and they are doing well at denying an easy entry pass.

And Special is just that today,,,,she is the difference so far.

[SixFig]

Those must be fans disguised as empty seats!

Depressing...stupid A-10. Should have kept the championship in Cincinnati.

[XU-PA]

I thought Amber was gonna throw one down for us,,,,,,,, hoping

[XU-PA]

Our superstars, Amber and T-Phil are there to win tonight, really showing their talent

I think a neutral site is stupid for the A-10, I think Cincinnati will probably only get a tourney site bid once or twice a decade. I think just for the excitement the fans generate I'd rather see it in Philly than this place.

[XU-PA]

So far X is doing a good job vs McCarthy, she dropped 28 in the first game this season

[HomerCecil]

Carbon copy of the past two games.

[XU-PA]

Carbon copy of the past two games.

Yup, each trip down the court you think they'll make a run, then temple slaps right back. Each basket by X is just a little breathing room.

the difference between this and the last 3 games is, temple, they are a good team.

Harris 3-3 from 3????? Holy crap.

What year are they?

[cinskyline]

What year are they?

Ta'Shia --- junior

Amber -- redshirt junior (senior academically)

[XU-PA]

And remember that Amber did not participate with the other seniors on senior nite, hoping that means she's coming back.

and I believe Ta'Sia also holds the xavier and A-10 record for Shot Put!

[BandAid]

This game be getting too close for comfort...

[xubball93]

1:45 to go, c'mon girls, close this thing out!

[pizza delivery]

53-50 XU under 2 min to go...

[pizza delivery]

that was over the back, dammit.

[BandAid]

Definitely too close...

[BandAid]

ESPN sucks - why are they showing the Big East men's bracket during an A-10 women's game? Disgusting.

[HomerCecil]

Terrible terrible decision by Special.

We don't really deserve to win this, but I hope I'm wrong.

[XU-PA]

They paid big bucks to air that tourney, they've been promoting that thing for ever.

[HomerCecil]

OK, let's wrap this up in OT!

[Snipe]

Terrible terrible decision by Special.

We don't really deserve to win this, but I hope I'm wrong.


That was not wise.

[pizza delivery]

This womens team is pretty damn good. Phillips is a rock in the middle.

[BandAid]

Wow. No fouls anywhere in that scrum?

[HomerCecil]

Why did April shoot that? Some really bad decisions here.

But let's hope this D can keep it up for 5 more seconds. Defense has been great.

[pizza delivery]

XU can't put them away yet. 57-55 TU's ball with 5 seconds left. TO.

[XU-PA]

COngratulations, they survived a very tough tournament.
Anytime you can win 3 games in 3 days you deserve all the gold you can carry!!!!!

[HomerCecil]

Whew! It's not been pretty lately, but we keep winning!

[pizza delivery]

That's a clinch! A10 champs and a #2 seed in NCAA, pretty damn cool.

[BandAid]

Congrats to the ladies! They win both A-10 Crowns for the season!

[X-band '01]

Undefeated, untied, undisputed A-10 Champs. Let's hope that indeed parlays into a #2 seed when the ladies host the early rounds in a couple of weeks.

[Muskie1000]

Wtg ladies - first time I can ever remember going to bar to catch a "Women's" basketball game.

[XU-PA]

Undefeated, untied, undisputed A-10 Champs. Let's hope that indeed parlays into a #2 seed when the ladies host the early rounds in a couple of weeks.

Agreed, 18 wins in a row, rpi under 20, no bad losses, quality wins 6 over teams with rpi under 50, 11 total vs teams under the 100 mark, losses to a 19, 36 and 47.
that is one hell of a bio. Only knock, the A-10 it gives us that over 50 SOS.

[xubball93]

I'll be pissed if the ladies don't get a 2 seed. X fans better come out in force for their games at the 'tas!

[SixFig]

No excuse for a non-sellout

If McGuff has to come on here and ask for support...it's on!

[JAPER]

congrats, Lady Muskies! Was able to make it to the Q-final game. Defense was solid as a rock all weekend. Conference foes made it tough, but in the end...got 'er done. You're killin' it!

[GoMuskies]

I can't imagine those games selling out, but it will be a nice crowd. I'm going Tuesday (assuming the unthinkable does not happen on Sunday). It's unfortunate that they won't be able to sell beer at those games!
