TV - Middle Tennessee State

[X-band '01]

First of all, note that the tip is 8:00 ET - it will tip 1 hour before the start of the Butler game on ESPN.

Second, this game will be on CSS (Comcast Sports South) - tune in here if you're in the CSS viewing area; otherwise ESPN3 will also have a live stream on the game.

Does anyone know what channel Comcast Sports South is on Direct TV?

[XU-PA]

I looked through all the directv stuff, and came up empty. Comcast south is no where to be found.

Will enjoy Mike Schmaltz's call tonight.

[X-band '01]

Women out of the gates fast - they lead 16-7 with 10:00 to go in the 1st half. Askew already has 8 points.

[X-band '01]

Still no Katie Rutan in the lineup.

[X-band '01]

Xavier now leads 22-17 at the under-4 timeout.

REMINDER: You can get the game on ESPN3 right now.

Quite frankly our ladies look like they have no energy and don't even want to be playing... Our bigs ALL look horrid..

[X-band '01]

Good news - 26-21 halftime lead.

Bad news - both Amber and Ta'Shia have 3 fouls apiece.

Halftime Xavier leads 26-21...

Amber and Ta'Shia both have 3 fouls and have played awful... Quite frankly everyone has, except Megan.

[X-band '01]

Great start to the half - now 37-26 X.

[X-band '01]

51-39 Xavier; just when the game looked like a runaway MTSU is on a 7-0 run.

[xu_fan]

Final score: 65-52 Xavier wins!

Good road win. Looked a little "blah" at times but pulled it out... Good balanced scoring! Not having Katie in the linup is really hurting this team... Get better soon Katie!

Congrats to Megan on a career night!

[X-band '01]

65-52 Xavier win. 9-0 is now the best start in program history.

[XU-PA]

Askew and Special, awesome games.
Nice to see them pick up the slack when the bigs have tough shooting nights.

Askew and Jennings combined 11-15 from the floor! Harris and Phillips 8-23.
Another fine night for Mossy with 10 points.

by the way, very nice article in the Enq the other day on Askew.

Will Katie be back for Duke?

[eastcoast]

I heard she will be back for MS State game.

[X-band '01]

Megan's play has been a bonus of late - getting Katie back will be an added bonus as long as she's ready to go against Duke.

[cinskyline]

I heard she will be back for MS State game.

I hope so. She needs at least one warm up game before Duke. I wonder what kind of physical condition she's in after sitting all this time.
