Xavier -7.5 @ St. John's

[GoMuskies]

This line seems crazy high to me considering how awful Xavier has been on the road. On the other hand, it is only a half point off where Sagarin would place the line (-7). Can't see taking Xavier and giving 7.5 at this point.

Well it opened at -6, but I don't understand the move either, especially with Ed's injury situation.

Most bettors, as well as the sports books, have no idea that Edmund will most likely be shut down/not play. This is definitely insider info.

[GoMuskies]

Looks like Ed being shut down in DEEP inside info at this point. :)

[GoMuskies]

Who's coaching St. John's? These guys take some wild shots. Thankfully they're not falling...so far.

[mistabeecee41]

Is it just me or does Jp throw one of those passes away once a game?

[paulxu]

Sumner has some hops.

[GoMuskies]

This has been a pretty bad game so far. Luckily St. John's has been the most bad so far. Hope they don't start making some of their crazy shots. Could get scary.

[GoMuskies]

Sumner has been fantastic. He's excused frim the bad game comment.

[paulxu]

Wonder why big men feel they have to dribble when they catch the ball under the basket?

[GoMuskies]

I love playing these guys at MSG. The place has all the atmosphere of a masoleum. That makes winning on the road easier.

[paulxu]

That was a poorly executed last play to end the half.
Also, I like that St John's does run some plays, lot of movement designed to get a guy open.

[American X]

Ed made a jump shot. His shoulder must really be bothering him.

Keeping the Edmond & Quentin combo on the floor shows promise.

Both Sean and Rashid have forgotten how to play basketball. Sean getting blocked on an open dunk then stumbling to the ground summed up his year. May just need to rotate Jones and Gates at the 5.

We've sucked big time in the 2nd half in games this season. Let's see how this plays out.

[GoMuskies]

Good second half so far. Hopefully a no stress evening.

[GoMuskies]

Trevon isn't human.

[Lloyd Braun]

They call a touch fouls on Kaiser, questionable at best. Gaston gets mauled- no call.

[GoMuskies]

Good that we got the lead up to 15 before St. John's started playing.

[paulxu]

We apparently also can't handle a little success (like a nice lead).

Props to Kaiser for crashing some boards.

[GoMuskies]

That Owens dude is pretty good.

[paulxu]

I must be blind. I don't see some of these fouls.

[GoMuskies]

Geez, tough year for Ed.

[D-West & PO-Z]

F**k!!!!!

[paulxu]

OK, now what did he do?

Ankle? Knee?

Shit. Knee.

[GoMuskies]

Well, nice season guys.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Well, nice season guys.

Yeah. Can't imagine ed is coming back from that.

[paulxu]

F this. Win this damn game.

[GoMuskies]

Let's run some clock and get out of here. Second half is taking forever.

[GoMuskies]

Not fouling every trip would help.

[paulxu]

It's a foul fest.

JP was not listening to you.

[GoMuskies]

Macura is a disaster today. Put in Stainbrook.

[paulxu]

Wonder why JP doesn't get that call, and they do.

[GoMuskies]

Welcome to the rest of the season. Fuck

[Lloyd Braun]

This game might take 3 hours

[GoMuskies]

This officiating. Jesus.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Welcome to the rest of the season. Fuck

Yeah what a nightmare.

[GoMuskies]

Rashid may have saved the season with that basket, because a loss here and this season over.

[GoMuskies]

Good to see Q stepping up here.

[XU 23]

51 total fouls.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Good to see Q stepping up here.

Yeah we are going to need him to continue to make big strides. He has looked better and better.

[GoMuskies]

If this goes OT, we might have to play walk ons.

[Muskie]

I think Q is going to have a good career at X.

Yes I completely agree.

[paulxu]

Can we make our foul shots?

[GoMuskies]

JP was way too close to turning that over.

[GoMuskies]

Can we make our foul shots?

Apparently not.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Quickest review I've ever seen lol.

[GoMuskies]

Get in, get a win, get out.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Get in, get a win, get out.

Yeah. Probably going to be tough to do now. So any win anyway is a good one.

[GoMuskies]

Need 4 more wins. Would hate to lose our streak of going .500 or better in league play. Won't be easy.

[xu82]

Love the road win, Q looked solid, but what about Ed? Ugh.....

Like the future with how Q is coming along and the incoming class, but this may not be the year I expected. PEAK IN MARCH!

[paulxu]

So now Inside The Big East is on.
And the first segment is about Sumner.

I hope he can play.

"Somewhat surprising major" = racist?

[GreatWhiteNorth]

The way we were missing the FTs to close the game is sickening. Even TB and JP were missing FTs. This is the breakout game for Q. We need him and a healthy Ed, who was playing well today. I am glad we won this away game, but we had our usual letdown in the 2nd half. Go X.

[xu82]

Ed was playing very well.

Maybe our lack of depth is wearing down starters in 2nd half. No legs = bad free throws, poor d.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Gates had 9 rebounds tonight. Wow, would like to see more of that.

[nasdadjr]

You all know my thing I say it every game. Get Gates down low. Didn't watch tonight but 9 boards is much better. Need much more of that

[SemajParlor]

I was at the game tonight. Really bummed about Ed -- he was nothing short of terrific today. One of the best games of his career.

Man, are we spoiled with Trevon Blueitt. I sense he will be a you don't know what you got til it's gone situation.

[markchal]

Gates rebounding was nice but I also saw him put the ball on the floor and make a move to the hoop. Where has that been for almost two years? We need him to make more plays and be more than just a spot shooter on offense.
