High Point

[XU-PA]

the are fast breaking, forcing turnovers, forcing bad shots, and locking down on defense putting HP in foul trouble.
37-21 at the half, X went on a 24-4 run to end the half.
Awesome start!
Hawkes, Glover, and Crouch with 8 points each, Amber with 6.
Advantage on the boards, 21-13
And 12-12 from the line!
Very nice start, and thanks to X for the video link!

[XU-PA]

and a strong finish, 77-48 win for X!!!!
Hawkes and Amber with 14 each, Pachko and Glover with 10 apiece!
Pachko added a dozen boards for a double double.
Alliyah Zant with the best line of the night, 6 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals and 7 points in 26 minutes. Nice work for a freshman!.

Team shot 54% and 89% free throws.
And really, this is a fun team to watch, they are running, and playing hard dee, very "amy-like"

Agree ... great ball movement. Great teamwork. This team could have a very good season. Looking forward to Xavier getting a big win over Duke on Sunday ... staying an extra day in Cincy for it! Go X!

Honestly, I don’t think they played that well- 24 turnovers really sticks out. High Point just had only one girl with any offensive ability, #42, who scored their first nine points and got them out to a 15-11 lead early. She got into foul trouble, though, and it was over from there.

I know the stats look very favorable in rebounding and points in the paint, but we struggled to stop #42 when she was in there and several of the turnovers came trying to forcing the ball into the paint.

There were definitely positives- we really ran fast break well and had no problem the first taste of a press we’ve seen. Crittenden had an off night, but Glover really stepped up- more good defense and showed some offensive ability score with 10 points!

It’s good to see us beat a team by 29 in game where we could have played better- and see the Michigan team we hung with last week beat the snot out of Seton Hall at the same time (72-29. It was 35-6 at halftime).

Wednesday will be our first chance to compare ourselves against a team we played last season- Morehead State (W, 71-66). And to check out what their coach wears:
