[paulxu]

I just realized these yahoos wrecked an otherwise perfect season at home for the Muskies.
It's time for payback.
BTW, thanks to everyone who went and brought home the W for us against Creighton.
Keep it going.

[XUOWNSUC]

I fear Xavier is due for a let down after a short turnaround coming off of the emotional Creighton win. I really hope I am wrong.

[The_Mack_Pack]

I feel like Xavier is due to put two amazing halves together and destroy an opponent.

[American X]

March is all about winning two games in three days. If you want to win a national championship, you have to win on Saturday and on Monday. This Xavier team is too focused to slip up tonight.

Still on such a high from Saturday.

[kyxu]

Georgetown had a less than 48-hour turnaround before their game against us. They didn't seem any worse for wear, beating us by 20+.

[xuwin]

I would be disappointed if Edwin doesn't play tonight. He's a great all around player and I'd hate to see him miss his senior night. Without Edwin I think it will be like playing DePaul.

[BandAid]

Georgetown had a less than 48-hour turnaround before their game against us. They didn't seem any worse for wear, beating us by 20+.

Georgetown was coming home after a loss. We are going on the road after a huge win. Beware the trap!

[The_Mack_Pack]

Georgetown was coming home after a loss. We are going on the road after a huge win. Beware the trap!

I think the guys will be ready. Just need a better day from the FT line and a few less turnovers than the last time we played the Pirates..

[xuwin]

Georgetown was coming home after a loss. We are going on the road after a huge win. Beware the trap!

Fatigue will not be an issue but game prep time could be. Fortunately we have already played them once and know that they can play a zone defense now.

[gladdenguy]

That matchup zone they were playing last time against us was weak. Semaj should be able to destroy it. I just hope they aren't hitting everything.
Very worried about an emotional let down after the huge game Saturday and now going on the road. Win tonight and its a lock for tourney. This would be enormous. I hope Fuquan does not play. I will take a win anyway we can get it.

[xsteve1]

If X comes focused and ready to play with energy they'll be fine. If they don't expect an "L".

[Masterofreality]

I would be disappointed if Edwin doesn't play tonight. He's a great all around player and I'd hate to see him miss his senior night. Without Edwin I think it will be like playing DePaul.

Not me. Give me a win in any shape.

As for Edwin playing, he is still "uncertain"....which means he'll try to play, at least.

[muskiefan82]

I am hoping this team realizes that beating Seton Hall and then Villanova sets the foundation that X can beat every single team in this league and prepares the Big East for the future.

Go X! Beat down some pirates.

[xuwin]

That matchup zone they were playing last time against us was weak. Semaj should be able to destroy it. I just hope they aren't hitting everything.
Very worried about an emotional let down after the huge game Saturday and now going on the road. Win tonight and its a lock for tourney. This would be enormous. I hope Fuquan does not play. I will take a win anyway we can get it.

I think Reynolds could be a rebounding machine inside that zone if they try to use it again. Hi low from Matt to Jalen also might be a good play on offense.

[sgarcia]

Can we run the Derrick Brown alley oop play for Reynolds or is there a fear that he might just tear down the hoop when he throws it down?

[xufan2434]

If it was any other team besides Seton Hall, I would absolutely agree with the trap game idea. I just don't see it though. Seton Hall already beat X and at home. They're gonna be looking to get em back especially knowing we're way better than them. I like X to take care of business tonight and have big momentum going into Thursday

[EastCoastXman]

I attend many Seton Hall games with my Pirate buddies but will be in the house with 10 Xavier fans tonight. Fuquan will play tonight even if just a cameo. The Pru Center is never a threat to visiting teams because they hardly ever have more than 5k in attendance. Other than the emotion of senior night we should be fine. I was at MSG last week for the St John's game and that was a hostile crowd that we played to. They were all heading to the exits with a minute to play moaning and groaning about their team.

[Masterofreality]

AND.........l am stuck on the North Coast as my flights to Philly today were all cancelled because of the Mid Atlantic snow storm. Since I can't get there on time for the game, I had to postpone my trip. Damn, really wanted to be there. I'll be yelling through my TV, though.

I will be in Cincy Thursday and at Dana's Pre-Game. Get a Yuengling and a burger ready for me '94 Grad!

[vee4xu]

To be sure, I want X to win both games, but tonight's is more important to me than Villanova. Losing to a low-rated RPI team that is currently on the skids after crapping out against them at Cintas sure feels a lot worse to me than losing to a top five team at home.

[THRILLHOUSE]

from Shannon Russell:

"Fuquan Edwin shooting around, will play tonight vs #Xavier. Missed last game with sprained thumb on shooting hand."

[vee4xu]

The Bada Bing, I mean Live Chat (http://us14.chatzy.com/32573582761803), is open for business.

Can I bother you for the password, please? Is there a secret hiding place to get it another way?

[GIMMFD]

Boy a win would sure put me in a happy mood, hope the boys come to play tonight.

[xu2010]

Room password?

[SlimKibbles]

Why is Martin not starting?

[xsteve1]

X looks lethargic. No clue whats up with Martin.

[TUclutch]

X looks lethargic. No clue whats up with Martin.

Idk whats up with JMart, but the team looks fine right now. No reason to be worried

[The_Mack_Pack]

Not a good start. Getting really good looks but nothing is going down. Martin not starting is a bit concerning too.

[mistabeecee41]

stain and zeke controlling the boards. only giving up an o-board a minute.

[Cheesehead]

Where's Jmart? X looks flat. Need jalen

[BandAid]

If this is any indication...we're awful without JMart

[The_Mack_Pack]

Two straight airballs on pretty good looks?

[Xville]

I think it is time to start Reynolds..and rotate stain and philmore...having two inside guys with limited athletic ability starting just doesn't seem like the best rotation to me.

[X-Fan]

JMart just checked in.

[mistabeecee41]

Two straight airballs on pretty good looks?

make it 3.

[xsteve1]

Lucky Seton Hall is bad or X would be down big.

[Cheesehead]

1-4 from FT and 2-10 from floor

[Xavgrad08]

This game is ugly.

[Retire33]

Good Energy on Defense. Need to not force shots.

[xsteve1]

X just doesn't have an answer for the zone.

[mistabeecee41]

guys look absolutely clueless out there. 50 minutes against willard's zone and we still have no idea what were doing.

[DC Muskie]

What else is on. Cause this game is terrible to watch.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Still can't make FT's against Seton Hall. Xavier is getting good looks offensively too but nothing is going down. Reynolds has two fouls now too.

[xumuskies08]

This game is making me want to gouge my eyes out. Good lord this is ugly.

[GIMMFD]

Painful to watch, definitely need to switch up the line-up, we look poor.

[Cheesehead]

This game is ugly.

To say the least

[Cheesehead]

Might have to switch to North Carolina game. Byron is wondering if team having depth perception issue. LOL

[DC Muskie]

First team to 30 wins.

[XU 87]

We're getting good looks. We just need to make some shots.

[xu82]

This game is making me want to gouge my eyes out. Good lord this is ugly.

What's the problem? We may get to double digits by half time...

[xsteve1]

Fuck.

[mistabeecee41]

motherfucker.

[xumuskies08]

:(

[BMoreX]

Oh god no

[TUclutch]

motherfucker.

That doesn't look like a good knee injury at all

[XU3232]

Oh god this is not good for Stain.

[XMuskieFTW]

Please do not be as bad as it sounds...

[xu82]

Oh shit...

[xsteve1]

Hopefully just a scare to Matt.

[DC Muskie]

Piece of shit Seton hall asshole.

[XU 87]

Oh dear. C'mon Matt, get up.

[Cheesehead]

We'll, that's just f-ing great.

[Xavgrad08]

I am going to be sick.

[The_Mack_Pack]

He got up quickly so maybe it's not season ending.

[X-Fan]

He's up and walking with help & a limp. PLEASE let him be ok!

[BMoreX]

He hobbled off.

[TUclutch]

Piece of shit Seton hall asshole.

Joking? I hope

It was non contact

[Porkopolis]

Not good. Not good at all.

[mohr5150]

How many times does our city have to see that happen to our teams? It is just unreal.

[RoseyMuskie]

I hope the sound is no indication of the injury. Didn't really get a good luck on TV, but don't know if I want to see...

[mistabeecee41]

down 4 on the road against a crappy team and our 2nd best player goes down.

time to see what these guys are made of. i'm not as confident as others that were a "lock". lose out and were right on the bubble.

[xsteve1]

Shannon Russell ‏@slrussell 1m
Matt not walking on his own. Heading off the court, back to the locker room. That's the last thing you want to see. #Xavier

[Cheesehead]

Byron said, "that doesn't look good at all, Joe. Matt is in a lot of pain."

[TUclutch]

Originally Joe/Byron said it buckled non contact but the replay showed the guy cut in and it went.

[casualfan]

That didn't look good. When he first went down from his reaction I thought it was a blown everything.

After seeing him get up and walk off (albeit awkwardly) I am hopeful it's not as bad as it originally looked.

[DC Muskie]

Joking? I hope

It was non contact

You know there was a foul called right?

[xumuskies08]

Please just be hyperextended. That looked like MCL city right there.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Let's see what Farr can give us.

[Cheesehead]

You know there was a foul called right?

Didn't look intentional. Just one of those things

[TUclutch]

You know there was a foul called right?

1, Yes, still doesn't mean you need to be personal like you were.
2. Byron and Joe first said that the injury happened before any contact. Simmer a bit

[DC Muskie]

Let's hope this doesn't rattle us. Farr has to make his shots if he's not going to play defense or foul.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Not a good post Stain injury start.

[xsteve1]

1, Yes, still doesn't mean you need to be personal like you were.
2. Byron and Joe first said that the injury happened before any contact. Simmer a bit

Yeah nothing malicious from the Seton Hall player, just bad luck.

[xubball1993]

Need Farr, Stenger and Reynolds to step up

[BMoreX]

Rebounding us going to suffer

[DC Muskie]

1, Yes, still doesn't mean you need to be personal like you were.

I'm a fan. I saw an opposing player undercut our center and he went down. He's a piece of shit.

Jesus.

[RoseyMuskie]

The JMart to #4 experiment just moved up 9 months.

[Cheesehead]

Fuck

[xsteve1]

Looks like X may get their doors blown off. 4 threes from SH already.

[Xavgrad08]

James Farr has to step up.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

This is getting ugly.

[BMoreX]

This is not good.

[XU 87]

It would help if we take better shots and rebound better.

[Cheesehead]

Hello, and one ref?!

[XU3232]

This could go from bad to worse. We look bad.

[The_Mack_Pack]

We're getting murdered on the boards.

[TUclutch]

James Farr needs to stay in the middle now. As a 4, Id be fine with him shooting the occasionaly 3, but now as the 5 he can't leave us without anyone in the middle.

[XU 87]

Farr really struggles on defense.

[xumuskies08]

This is not good

[The_Mack_Pack]

Those are the kind of passes Dee doesn't need to make.

[DC Muskie]

I hate Jersey.

[Cheesehead]

Our body language is horrible at that huddle. Mack needs to get into it with these guys!

[ArizonaXUGrad]

I hate Jersey.

Well I have never been a Cheaton Hall fan.

[xeus]

It would help if we take better shots and rebound better.

Good post 87. Good post.

[xsteve1]

Not sure I like what X is doing with Christon. Needs the ball in his hands more.

[DC Muskie]

Our body language is horrible at that huddle. Mack needs to get into it with these guys!

All the talk of this being a tight nit group, this is the time to step up and show it!

[DC Muskie]

Semaj has made that turnover about twice a game.

[BMoreX]

Ugh

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Hall is going to live or die by that three.

[xsteve1]

Put a fork in X. They are done.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Semaj complaining to the refs and he leaves his guy wide open for a three.

[xumuskies08]

Awful. Just awful.

[BandAid]

This is awful. The refs are also awful

[DC Muskie]

Seriously I hate Jersey.

[XMuskieFTW]

We look dead out there. Not good.

[BlueGuy]

I'm gonna watch this whole game, but this is unwatchable.

[Xavgrad08]

Mack needs a timeout. We look horrible offensively.

[kyxu]

What's frustrating is that this Seton Hall team is not playing particularly well tonight. They actually really suck.

We just look so incredibly flat.

[nkymuskie]

All I can say is ugh...

[Cheesehead]

And flipped off

[XU3232]

Teague is going to own Farr.

[XU 87]

Last 5 possessions- 3 turnovers, a missed layup and dee almost air balls a 5 footer.

We look like shit.

[BandAid]

Reynolds, Farr, and Philmore with two fouls apiece...ugh

[THRILLHOUSE]

I had the turn the tv off for now, or else I was gonna break something. Stainbrook injury or not, this is a shit performance.

[mistabeecee41]

this time needs to grow a pair. when adversity strikes it's like were a sinking ship.

[DC Muskie]

I would really like someone to get pissed off at the team, not the ref. Not sure it would do any good, but it would be nice.

[xu82]

Hall is going to live or die by that three.

Can I pick?

[XU 87]

Teague is going to own Farr.

He has to put Philmore or Reynolds back in before this gets out of hand.

[Pablo's Brother]

How can we be so good on Saturday and so bad on Monday?

[The_Mack_Pack]

Lol at this point there's nothing we can do. We can't hit open shots. We can't rebound. We can't play defense without fouling. Seton Hall can't miss from 3.

[XU 87]

And they make another three. Stainbrook or no Stainbrook, we've got 18 points.

[xeus]

Need to stop the bleeding and get to half. Ugh.

[paulxu]

Beyond me. This is not the same team that beat Creighton.
Slow, flat, soft, lackadaisical, seemingly uninterested, no passion, no emotion, etc.
How can you possibly be down 14 points to 5-11 Seton Hall?

I want my Xavier Musketeers back.

[BMoreX]

This game might be over.

[xsteve1]

Without Stain this team is lost.

[casualfan]

We cannot afford to get blown out here.

Not in March. Not against the 148th ranked team in the country.

We can probably withstand a loss, but this is pathetic.

[BMoreX]

We're not making anything

[XU 87]

Myles davis wide open three..... brick

[ArizonaXUGrad]

They are flat and tired after that game Saturday.

[DC Muskie]

20 points. Man we need a miracle to pull this one off.

[boozehound]

This Xavier team is unbelievably crappy on the road.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Myles and Farr have turned into pumpkins once big east play started. Really disappointed in those 2.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Myles davis wide open three..... brick

That's been a constant in BE play. He's not a very good FT shooter either.. I just don't get it.

[Retire33]

Personally think its time to go "havoc" on them. Have to beat them with athletes

[XU 87]

Without Stain this team is lost.

With Philmore and Reynolds on the bench, there was no one to play low post on offense.

We made one three. Someone has to make a shot. We had looks.

[RoseyMuskie]

Please come out in a press Mack. Start with a lineup of Semaj, Dee, Myles, Martin, and Jalen.

Myles and Farr: 0-5. Collectively they need to go 2-5.

[Porkopolis]

This team's road performance problem is baffling. We are lucky to still be in this. Coach better draw up a great plan for the next 20 minutes.

[xsteve1]

Farr is brutal.

[mistabeecee41]

Myles davis wide open three..... brick

yep, i remember thinking he was a bigtime upgrade over brad. scratch that.

[XU3232]

Myles, Randolph, and Farr provide basically zero offense . We need to score. 20 points at halftime. WOW

[BandAid]

It'll be nice to get Reynolds and Philmore back after half. This game isn't over. Our energy needs to increase by about 1000%, but this one isn't over.

[TUclutch]

Personally think its time to go "havoc" on them. Have to beat them with athletes

This game isn't over. Need to come out in the second half with Semaj, JMart and Reynolds leading the way. Dee Davis needs to not suck like he did. Reynolds and Philmore need to stay out of foul trouble, because Farr is horrible. The bulk of there dominance came with Farr trying to play with Teague.

[xu82]

Will someone please say again how we're in the Tournament no matter what? Please???

[X-Fan]

JMart with the steal & finish to make it a 12 pt deficit at half. Strangely, I'll take it. Could have been more. Need to regroup & get after it in the 2nd half.

I think JMart might have shown the key to a 2nd half comeback there. Let's turn the press on and use our quickness to disrupt them.

Let's Go Fellas!

[danaandvictory]

Seeing a teammate go down like that has to be deflating.

But this team too often responds to adversity with abject panic. Semaj, Dee, Brandon all with ridiculously stupid unforced turnovers after the injury. Leaving guys wide open on the perimeter.

No one on Seton Hall feels sorry for you, guys.

[Retire33]

Personally think its time to go "havoc" on them. Have to beat them with athletes



This game isn't over. Need to come out in the second half with Semaj, JMart and Reynolds leading the way. Dee Davis needs to not suck like he did. Reynolds and Philmore need to stay out of foul trouble, because Farr is horrible. The bulk of there dominance came with Farr trying to play with Teague.

I just don't see the ability to score vs. this matchup zone in the halfcourt without Matt in there.

[xsteve1]

Reynolds just has to stay out of foul trouble for X to be good the rest of the year.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Dee and Semaj did not play in control and they missed a ton of really good looks. When those guys are on then Xavier is really good, otherwise we're terrible.

[xubball1993]

Basketball is a game of momentum. Let's hope we grab it to start the second half. If this team has to go forward w/out Matt, they better learn how against a weak team like Seton Hall or they'll get destroyed by Nova on Thursday. All the best to Matt.

[XU 87]

I just don't see the ability to score vs. this matchup zone in the halfcourt without Matt in there.

It certainly makes things tougher. But somebody needs to make a shot. wide open threes are bricks. Guys driving in short arm their shots.

[brownlavender]

Im not supposed to feel this much pain until mid march at least

[TUclutch]

Will someone please say again how we're in the Tournament no matter what? Please???

The don't take teams out because of injuries. We're playing for seeding at this point

[Cheesehead]

Farr and Reynolds both foul too much

[The_Mack_Pack]

The don't take teams out because of injuries. We're playing for seeding at this point

If we lose 3 straight and Stain is out for the season the committee will take into account how different we are without him.

[TUclutch]

No they won't. They don't look at teams with the team name. Only records, SOS, RPI, big wins etc. They don't look at injuries, margin of victory, etc

[THRILLHOUSE]

ok, turned my TV back on. The first 4 minutes of this half will be huge, X has to get a good start here.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

We haven't lost 3 straight and we don't know how bad Stain's injury is. Let's see how they do in the 2nd half and wait to hear how Matt is being calling the season over.

[xu82]

The don't take teams out because of injuries. We're playing for seeding at this point

I just want to KNOW we're a lock. I would hate to miss two years in a row. That hurts the reputation. I don't want to lose out and find ourselves on the wrong part of the bubble. This is a bad loss if things continue! But there's a long way to go and we have the talent to come back. I just don't know if we have the mindset.

[xubball1993]

ok, turned my TV back on. The first 4 minutes of this half will be huge, X has to get a good start here.

Maybe Xavier needs some Nugenix.

[RoseyMuskie]

I think my concern for Matt is more regarding next season, rather than this. A torn ACL would severely inhibit his offseason development, his conditioning, and ability to get up and down the court.

[TUclutch]

Going 4 guard lineup. I like JMart at the 4

[GIMMFD]

I just want to KNOW we're a lock. I would hate to miss two years in a row. That hurts the reputation. I don't want to lose out and find ourselves on the wrong part of the bubble. This is a bad loss if things continue! But there's a long way to go and we have the talent to come back. I just don't know if we have the mindset.

We sure as hell had the mindset for Georgetown, there's 20 minutes to be played, let's let them play out.

[The_Mack_Pack]

No they won't. They don't look at teams with the team name. Only records, SOS, RPI, big wins etc. They don't look at injuries, margin of victory, etc

UC #1 team in the country when Kenyan Martin breaks his leg and they give UC a 2 seed. Saint Mary's was in Xavier's position a few years ago when their best player Patty Mills broke his hand and they were left out. They take injuries into account.

[TUclutch]

Im not sure if Ive ever seen someone as bad at the floater as Dee is

[xsteve1]

Hall now 7-14 from 3.

[BandAid]

oliver is killing us

[xu82]

Maybe Xavier needs some Nugenix.

Or a Willis Reed re-enactment? (Look it up young guys)

[XU 87]

Does Dee Davis ever make that runner? Or even come close?

[TUclutch]

Does Dee Davis ever make that runner?

No. Hes the worst Ive ever seen at it

[xsteve1]

I think my concern for Matt is more regarding next season, rather than this. A torn ACL would severely inhibit his offseason development, his conditioning, and ability to get up and down the court.

Could not only be devastating for this year but next as well. It would take a guy like Matt probably at least a year to get back.

[mistabeecee41]

god, myles is bad. bailed out on that one.

[XU 87]

Philmore- please shoot the wide open 15 footer.

[xsteve1]

Myles Davis has been really disappointing.

[XMuskieFTW]

Someone told Semaj about "Tu Time"

[XU 87]

When in doubt, give the ball to Semaj.

[TUclutch]

Philmore- please shoot the wide open 15 footer.

This is funny since it seems like half this board hates everything he does

[xsteve1]

X showing some fight. Hopefully Hall cools down from 3. Semaj taking it into his own hands.

[Retire33]

Someone told Semaj about "Tu Time"

Someone had a "come to jesus" meeting with Semaj

[BandAid]

Someone told Semaj about "Tu Time"

so it would seem

[The_Mack_Pack]

Now that's the Christon we all know and love! Please get some stops now.

[TUclutch]

Myles Davis has been really disappointing.

he's a freshman. He'll be fine. Just needs to keep working imo

[GIMMFD]

Semaj. Christon. Dear. Lord.

[xumuskies08]

Thank god for Semaj. Mercy.

[RoseyMuskie]

Could not only be devastating for this year but next as well. It would take a guy like Matt probably at least a year to get back.

Exactly. He's no Adrian Peterson. Let's hope it's not the case.

[xsteve1]

Philmore- please shoot the wide open 15 footer.

Yeah I'd rather see him shoot that shot than getting a layup swatted.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Myles Davis has been really disappointing.

It's in his head. He thinks about it too much.

[Xavgrad08]

We are down 5. Lets go X.

[RoseyMuskie]

Exactly the start that was needed. Now, more than ever, Semaj needs to be "the man."

[boozehound]

Myles Davis has been really disappointing.

I think we all got inflated expectations for Myles early on. He is a Freshman who didn't play organized basketball last year. I still think the future is bright for him, although competition at his position is going to get pretty tough so he will have to step his game up.

[XU 87]

It's in his head. He thinks about it too much.

He is shooting 39% from the three.

[paulxu]

http://i1.cpcache.com/product_zoom/457474132/never_give_up_mug.jpg?side=Back&height=250&width=250&padToSquare=true

[The_Mack_Pack]

11 points in less than 4 minutes for Semaj.

[xsteve1]

It's in his head. He thinks about it too much.

With the way he started the season I thought he'd get 10 a game. Maybe it's the year layoff.

[TUclutch]

LOL at the box score saying Dee Davis has 0 turnovers. He is responsible for Randolph's Martins and one of Semaj's

[TUclutch]

With the way he started the season I thought he'd get 10 a game. Maybe it's the year layoff.

I would agree with this. I think it is the yr layoff. He wasn't allowed to practice with them like redshirts so that had to hurt

[xsteve1]

Dee just so hot and cold. Need him to get it going.

[BMoreX]

Come on Dee what the hell

[XU 87]

And Dee Davis bricks another wide open three. The guy just disappears in games. And now he picks up a charge.

For those who are interested in Pomeroy ratings, take a look at Dee's game by game ratings. Sometimes he's great. And sometimes he's absolutely terrible. And when he's terrible, we usually lose.

[TUclutch]

Dumb foul by Dee

[The_Mack_Pack]

Dee is having one of his bad games. I really wish he was more consistent.

[xu82]

Someone had a "come to jesus" meeting with Semaj

And maybe even Stain was heard from (I like to add to the drama)

When Dee is bad, this team is painful to watch. When he is good, the team fires on all cylinders.

He had been getting away with the arm bar all game, not surprised he was called for it (although it was a full stiff arm this time).

Hello there Molly.

[xumuskies08]

1-11 from three.

[xsteve1]

As Dee goes so goes X and tonight he's terrible.

[Xavgrad08]

Yeah, Dee stiff arming the opponent was not a smart play. Come on X, keep fighting.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Every single time they go inside we get a foul called. Every. Damn. Time.

[xsteve1]

Down 11 again.

[XMuskieFTW]

Myles isn't even close...

[TUclutch]

Reffing has been bad

[XU 87]

Myles Davis isn't even close.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

and they suck again.

[LadyMuskie]

Dear God. We only have 5 offensive rebounds. I think I want to cry.

[xsteve1]

X just can't get stops.

[XU 87]

Their big guys are beating up our big guys down low.

[Xavgrad08]

Christon is a stud.

[mistabeecee41]

somebody PLEASE give him some help.

maybe go zone and pray they go cold from 3? better than teague shooting 2 footers for the rest of the half.

[The_Mack_Pack]

We need stops and Semaj needs to touch the ball every time down the court.

[xumuskies08]

Semaj can't do it by himself. Someone else has to step up.

[THRILLHOUSE]

the offense (i.e. Semaj) has been fine this half but just getting killed inside on D

[xsteve1]

Mack may want to go to some 3/4 court press.

[xu82]

Dear God. We only have 5 offensive rebounds. I think I want to cry.

Yeah, and against their zone.... go ahead and let it out...

[XU 87]

Boy are our big guys playing like a bunch of sissies on defense.

[XMuskieFTW]

Imagine if Semaj had some help right now...

[xumuskies08]

They're making Teague look like an All-American.

[xsteve1]

C'mon Myles.

[The_Mack_Pack]

For gods sake Myles. How wide open do you want it?

[XU 87]

Mack may want to go to some 3/4 court press.

I agree.

And take Myles Davis out. He can't throw the ball in the ocean tonight.

[TUclutch]

Reynolds gets shoved and no foul but Farr needs to grab that rebound

[xubball1993]

We're hanging around...gotta make a run.

[XU3232]

I can go 1-5 from 3. Good god Myles.

[mistabeecee41]

lolmyles.

[TUclutch]

I can go 1-5 from 3. Good god Myles.

Maybe against intramural competition

[xumuskies08]

I can't decide which Davis is worse tonight. My goodness.

[BandAid]

Boy are our big guys playing like a bunch of sissies on defense.

They're all in foul trouble

[The_Mack_Pack]

Mack may want to go to some 3/4 court press.

The way the refs are calling ticky-tac fouls on X I wouldn't go to a press just yet.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Reynolds gets shoved and no foul but Farr needs to grab that rebound

agreed.

[TUclutch]

I can't decide which Davis is worse tonight. My goodness.

Clearly Dee lol

[xsteve1]

Stainbrook back on the bench, smiling. Hope he has good news.

[paulxu]

Sometimes I miss Brad Redford.
