I have zero expectations that Xavier can play a quality game, but deflating Butler's aspirations in Madison Square Garden would be pure joy.
It seems Xavier fans want Butler to play how Xavier usually played in the A-10 tournament - bid secure, less than fully interested in winning, more interested in getting a nice rest.
Yeah, I do not have a great feeling going into this. Just trying to start with the correct mindset so I can be pleasantly surprised, but not crushed.
Amex! Sorry, I forgot to put the thread up with my lego guy.
Hope I didn't jinx it.
Good to see Johnson and Raftery on the call tonight.
Let's remove any doubt tonight.

Gaston looking like complete garbage as usual.

Rashid has to finish down low. Defense looks active so far. I'm really worried about foul trouble as usual.
So far he's got a turnover, a missed bunny and got smoked on the baseline leaving jp to get dunked on. How can someone that big play so timidQuote:

How is Martin throwing ball against the base of basket any different than O'Mara punching ball in air. One was a tech, one no call...
Kaiserslautern "open the gates"
Man Xavier just missing wide ass open 3's...
Agreed. Huge percentage of refs rings him up there.Quote:

The ball slipped out of his hands. Try again.Quote:

Good 1st half but ended on a bad note.
To be fair I think there was about 0.1 on the shot clock. The 1 was on a long time before the whistle.Quote:

That's all we can do. Our inside game sucks. Bigs can't make 2 foot shots when they are wide openQuote:

That was amazing. Bernard hit 3 with 42 seconds left and Butler ends up with possession and shot clock off.
GAWDDAMNIT!!! Mack had a foul to give before the half. JP had zero fouls, yet rather than taking the foul to take Butler out of their set, Mack just let's them play. Result? A F-Ing Butler 3.Quote:

Rough last minute for the clock guy there.Quote:

Hit a f-ing wide ass open shot kid. This isn't CYO.
Ive always agreed with a lot of what you've said in the past, but I think this is a little absurdQuote:

And don't drive the ball into the corner with 4 on the shot clock. He's soo scared to shoot it now that he's passing up open shotsQuote:

Xavier couldn't play any worse, so there is that...
You must have missed the first half of last night's game.Quote:

What game are you watching? Only 4 turnovers, only 4 fouls. Not great shooting, but Xavier is not shooting themselves in the foot (so far).Quote:

Just when I started feeling good with the 10-0 run we see multiple turnovers and there goes the lead.
Way too late on calling that TO in my opinion.
Same thing the last game. We were right there and we turned it over a bunch of times.
Kelan Martin is also unstoppable.
that's Mack for ya.Quote:

I was watching a game where Xavier scored 26 points in a half, shot 33% from 2 and 11% from 3. Any other questions?Quote:
