Anyone know what sections X fans will be seated? Trying to not sit with UC or FSU fans tomorrow night...

[OTRMUSKIE]

UC fan will on their way home after Nevada Spanks them. I know we are in the end zone somewhere

[GIMMFD]

Mack > Hamilton. Hopefully Naji is ready to go, and we perform well tomorrow. If JP can have another game like last one, that would be phenomenal. I fully expect us to be ready to go from the start tomorrow. Not part of the revenge tour since how we handled em last time, but hopefully the score remains the same as last season. Let's march on!!

I think mostly in 116 (and some 117), but also up in 327. I was in 119 last night. Good seats and some X folks, but not like being with the crowd. Looking to upgrade from my nosebleed seat tomorrow. Maybe enough cocky Missouri fans have gone home to allow for some affordable seats in the right places.

Look for the section right behind the X bench. THAT is prime real estate! Players families, big supporters, staff, etc. I was lucky enough to sit there in Orlando last year thanks to a certain poster who could not make it.

[HenryMuto]

Was hoping to play Ohio State but now have to beat Gonzaga if we get past Florida State so back to back rematches from last year.

In 1999 I used to love upstart Gonzaga now F Gonzaga

[Masterofreality]

Have never liked Gonzaga. From Punk ass Morrison forward.

Agreed, hated Morrison's stache, hated everything about them.

[stammina0721]

I swear watching this Gonzaga OSU game that every questionable bounce always goes Gonzagas way. They have a never ending horseshoe up their ass.

[Grizzx12]

Not sure if anyone saw that FSU leading scorer Mann is not expected to play. Saw him go into the locker room somewhat late and in pain. Link is below but I dont know if Im buying it. He says he feels ok but is waiting for doctor approval.

[Grizzx12]

Mann is also leading rebounder. Bonus note, not sure if he starts or not but they have a 20 year old rFS Mfiondu Kabengele who is Dikembe Mutombo's nephew

[OTRMUSKIE]

Mann is expected to be out Sunday. I know we could easily lose but it really shouldn’t be too close. As long as X plays their B game they should come
Out with a win. Now if we do win then Next Thursday we will need our A game. However with all these top seeds going down who knows what happens tomorrow. Win or lose I’m drinking in Nashville!!!

Let's just hope we bring our A game anyways and not have to worry about an upset. Letting lower seeds hang around is a receipt for disaster, and something we do not need at all. That Providence meltdown really gave me anxiety.

[OTRMUSKIE]

This whole year gave me anxiety. Florida state is playing with house money, they have nothing to lose. We just can’t let them get a huge lead.

[HenryMuto]

Only favored by 6.

Even with Mann likely out?? That's kind of strange right??

I mean it is the NCAA tournament, I'm not surprised it isnt much higher. The Kansas Seton Hall line was 4.5

the only way to play now is minute by minute and don't even look at the past box scores..Good luck X and we will be watching and praying.

Still with the family in Florida for the kids spring break. Will be watching the game again from the sports bar at the resort. Funny though, I did have two Xavier fans take me up on my offer during live chat of our game against Texas Southern to buy day passes at the resort to anyone who wants to join us to watch the game which includes all you can eat and drink, so I will have two additional fans cheering on the team with me and the family

[stammina0721]

Some ass on cbs was interviewed and literally said he has No idea wht X is a one seed and that they are more like a 4 or 5 seed. First off screw these assholes and secondly thank you for the bulletin board material.

Is it time to start drinking yet? My parents and father in law are at my house, so I'm going with yes.

Thanks for the kind words. I can't speak for everyone here, but we were very used to going in alone. It's taking me awhile to adjust to having a conference mate not only running alongside us, but blazing a trail. Good luck to Nova the rest of the way. Unless we're playing each other in the National Championship. Then you can screw off :lol:

I'm a teetotaler, so I've already started stress eating since drink isn't an option. Transitioning from Craisins to blueberries with Takis lined up for game time. Anyway, here's the Banners preview of tonight's game (https://www.bannersontheparkway.com/2018/3/18/17133386/xavier-v-florida-st-ncaa-tournament-second-round-preview-sweet-sixteen-16). Let's go, X.

Completely agree with the takes here bud, need Kaiser bad tonight, because his defense is so clutch, if he can knock down 2 or 3 of the shots from outside, it'll help us out immensely. I'm a bit nervous, I'm really hoping the boys come to play tonight, an off-shooting night tonight would be really bad considering how tough FSU is on the inside with their size and length. I'm really glad Q found a 3 point shoot out of nowhere, because he may also come in clutch if he can hit a couple from the perimeter. One and done formats are rough for the soul.

[KabeX]

I think we'll see some zone from Mack tonight. I sure hope we shoot better than UNC is now.

[GIMMFD]

I think we'll see some zone from Mack tonight. I sure hope we shoot better than UNC is now.

Yeah I'm sure he'll throw the 1-3-1 wrinkle in a bit, it's good that Florida State doesn't really light it up from the 3 since that seems to be our kryptonite, but it's going to take a good effort tonight to beat em. The Kanter pick up is looking even better with his ability to stretch the floor a little bit as well.

[HenryMuto]

Assuming A&M can hold onto this massive lead we won't have to worry about North Carolina.

Too bad Houston choked we could have seen #2 and #3 seeds gone before Sweet 16 in X's bracket.

[KabeX]

Survive & Advance!

[stammina0721]

My god just beat FSU and dont let Gonzaga hit 15 threes and we are going to the final four

No Michigan like ALL big 10 teams this year are an absolute non factor. An outlier that can be statistically thrown away

[HenryMuto]

Bye Bye Cincinnati blows a 22 point lead with 12 minutes left.

I'm sure people said the same about Loyola, UMBC, Nevada, Marshall, etc... it really just does depend on any given day how the shots fall, and what the luck looks like.

I feel bad for Mann. I don't wish groin injuries upon anyone. Those suck.

Please don't let this be a game where they hit every prayer 3 they throw up.

[HenryMuto]

Could not get off to a worse start my god.

[Lloyd Braun]

FSU with lots of guard-center pick n rolls to exploit matchup on the switch. X continues to switch them with decent success.

[bleedXblue]

does Tre have 2 fouls?

[Blue Blooded-05]

No. I thought that too. The early foul was apparently called on JP

Wow that foul was CLEARLY in Tre.......but I will take it

You’d think that because Steve Lappas and Co., can’t be bothered to tell you the info. I had to look on my app.

Balls screens all day by FSU but so far pretty good on the switches. Paul and Tre have been BATTLING for position with their bigs

[paulxu]

Q, please don't do those.

[HenryMuto]

Really bad 2nd fouls on JP and TB they need to know better.

9 point lead down to 3.

[paulxu]

We just have trouble really extending leads this year.

[Section 200]

Too much foul trouble! Tre, JP. Kanter each have 2 already

[GoMuskies]

We sucking.

[X Factor]

Someone needs to step up and make some buckets.

Hoping it would be Kaiser...not likely though.

[MHettel]

Looking at gates to step up.

[AviatorX]

Gotta trust Tre these last 3 mins.

X is better than these guys. No sense trying to slow it up so much.

[stammina0721]

Had 24 pts with 11 to go. Gonna struggle to have 30 by half time

[bleedXblue]

Looking at gates to step up.

man hes been dreadful the last 4-5 games

WTF Kaiser!!!

[GoMuskies]

Gates be sucking

[MHettel]

Looking at gates to step up.

And....back to back turnovers

[X Factor]

Get Gates out of there...he's terrible.

[HenryMuto]

A couple dumb fouls by JP and TB have ruined this game. They have zero offense and just trying to survive now because of stupid fouls.

[Section 200]

I guess Gates can feel the pressure we put on him

[X Factor]

Can someone please score???

[Grizzx12]

Just need to get to half time

[Blue Blooded-05]

Way WAY too much dribbling between Q & Scruggs

[mistabeecee41]

I’m sorry, Mack’s plan of sitting all 3 of them might cost us the season. Keep one of them in there to avoid this meltdown.

[X Factor]

Is this a preview of next year's offense?

[X Factor]

This is stupid

[GoMuskies]

This lineup is atrocious

[Lloyd Braun]

Clearly a goaltend

Can we all agree Gates is a useless pos and needs no time from here on out

No, I do not agree.

[RoseyMuskie]

I’ll be optimistic; X weathered the storm, is up at half, and will get the ball.

[Section 200]

Tre, JP & Kanter sit significant time, we missed at least 4 free throws but have the lead at half. We got this

[Grizzx12]

Shitty foul situation threw a major cork screw into this half. Going into the half with a lead after sustaining their run and getting Tre and JP back to start the 2nd will favor us

[X Factor]

Can we all agree Gates is a useless pos and needs no time from here on out

I wouldn't play him. That's all I'm going to say.

[paulxu]

Ya think?? Doesn't take a genius to know that answer.

I actually don't know. We've had some droughts before. (No genius here)

[AviatorX]

Rarely disagree with Mack but the auto sit for those three with 2 fouls was poor. Hope it doesn’t cost them here in the second half.

[kellernr]

2pt lead with Tre, jp and matter sitting the last 7 or minutes. If angola starts missing we could run away in the 2nd half. He's the only guy keeping them in the game

the thing that kills me is that the fouls were not shooting fouls..Almost incidental. I would like to have seen Naj isolated to get some offense during that bad stretch

Nice finish to the first half. Huge.

[chico]

I think it bodes well for us that even with our 3 starters sitting for so long we're up 2.

I have no problem whatsoever with Mack sitting all 3 because the game was close enough to warrant it. If FSU started to make a run he probably would've put them back in.

[Section 200]

Under 4 minutes -time to win. FSU has 1 TO left

[BandAid]

Foul trouble and missing free throws is the story of this game.

Side stories: Naji out. Q's balls. Gates not being good.

[paulxu]

Woah, woah, woah. Bear down?!?! What are you doing to us? Take it back before it brings on bad juju.

I take it back!

Man Up !

[X Factor]

So every time an X player looks at the ball it's a foul but the FSU players can reach in, push and go over the back and it's nothing.

The refs suck on both sides. That's not the reason X is in this position!

Block out? Bueller? Anyone?

[X Factor]

Nice box out Gates!!

[Xuperman]

Win or lose...This is a terrible F St team. Not looking anything close to a 1 seed

[paulxu]

bump

[Grizzx12]

Well fuck

[X Factor]

Falling apart again just like the Providence game.

[Blue Blooded-05]

I have a baaaaad feeling about this

[Section 200]

JP gave us 17, we need Tre or Kanter to win

[paulxu]

Hah. A make up call.

[GoMuskies]

Make up call

[LadyMuskie]

These refs are an embarrassment.

[paulxu]

Trevon should shoot. Not drive. Ever.

[HenryMuto]

Unreal up by 2 with ball and this happens. I feel sick.

[Section 200]

Come on, hold together

[GoMuskies]

Brutal.

[kellernr]

Bluiett is playing like a scared little bitch.

Need a stop and a score somehow to win.

[HenryMuto]

What is it about being a 1-2-3 seed ? We are better off being an 11 seed.

[X Factor]

Just an amazing choke job.

Screw that attitude. How about actually play a good game?

[AviatorX]

Mack and Trevon were both terrible tonight.

Hope they can prove me wrong in the next 30 seconds but I’d be surprised if X even gets another look at the basket here.

[GoMuskies]

How could Trevon play this game today?

[paulxu]

We're not done yet.

[X Factor]

This is a very shitty FSU team....the pundits were right.

[mistabeecee41]

Same shit as Providence. Bonehead plays by seniors have happened all year long. People ignored them because we won but any fucking idiot (me) knew it would fit us

[X Factor]

How could Trevon play this game today?

5 turnovers

[GoMuskies]

Jesus fucking stupid

[paulxu]

As the announcers point out with our TO's; we've played sloppy the last 5 minutes.

[X Factor]

Yep.

[HenryMuto]

Why the fawk did we foul ?????????

[mistabeecee41]

Loooooool

[GoMuskies]

Fuck this shit. Go to Louisville Mack.

[Lloyd Braun]

Meltdown

[HenryMuto]

That is what we drew up ? That's season folks. Unreal every fawking time we are a high seed we bow out early.

[X Factor]

Trevon doesn't even get a touch???!!!!!

[Section 200]

Really??? Kanter????

[Blue Blooded-05]

I’m gonna be sick

[Grizzx12]

What a waste

[paulxu]

What an end to a great year.
Thanks for the memories, but not for the last half of this game.

I've enjoyed JP and Tre. They represented us well.

[BandAid]

Those complaining about the final play with Kanter. He was WIDE open. The play worked. The shot was just garbage.

[kellernr]

Tre has disappeared in app many so many games this year. NIT bound next year

Proud of JP. Goodbye to Tre and his mixed box outs

[Section 200]

painful

[X Factor]

The media was right...Xavier had everything go their way during the regular season. Every close game went X's way. We weren't as good as our record.

Epic choke jobs in the BE tournament and the NCAA Tournament.

[Grizzx12]

Well, wow is that disappointing. Great year down the toilet

[GreatWhiteNorth]

FTs not falling; foul troubles; Tre not scoring..........what can you expect. Today is a very bad day for Cincinnati.

[whopper]

speechless.

[Lloyd Braun]

What a shitshow. JP got screwed what a warrior.

[Section 200]

11 missed free throws, dumb fouls cost us the game
