Xavier is down at the half 21-19... Tudy Reed is leading the way with 7 points. Once again the officiating down south is just awful... Xavier has been calling for 11 fouls including 3 on Special Jennings and Miss St has only been called for 5 team fouls... Xavier has shot 2 free throws and Miss St has shot 10... Now please someone tell me how everytime we play a BCS school the refs just shackle us... It's pathetic... Anyone know who we can complain too cause I really want too..

Xavier leads 40-36 with 3:58 to play!

Final-XU 51 MSU-42

Hard to follow the game. Sounded like the XU broadcast was about 10 minutes behind the live stats on MSU's site. further, at least for me, cut in and out often.

Nice job ladies. Another notch in the belt, on the road, vs. SEC. Good way to carry a little momentum into the A-10. 12-4in the non-con with that schedule and sans AH, I say well done.

Nice win, funny I'm still listening to the internet broadcast, strange time warp, it hasn't been working at all, cutting in and out.

Anyway, great job ladies, that's a quality win!!

Looking at the play by play, XU led most of the first jalf, lost a little intensity at the end of the 1st. Then turned it on in the second, MSU scored a minute into the half, then XU held them scoreless for over 7 minutes! meanwhile the Musketeers ripped off 13 points. Looks like they never trailed after that.

Nice win over a quality team! Now it's on to the A-10!!

Sounds like it would have been an ugly game to watch.

Xavier ranks in the Top 10 nationally in FG% on defense, so games are going to be typically ugly.

Curiosity got the better of me. They are #4 nationally in FG % defense.

Both teams shot about 25%. That is a lot of bricks to made baskets. Just saying.
