There was a screen and Bernard did switch. Jones was slow to realize he needed to switch too.

It was a week ass screen. These guys don't fight through any of them. Kaiser got picked by savage who is half his size and he couldn't get through him. Guys playing way too soft

The screen was disruptive enough when there was a shooter behind the line that the switch was the right call. Jones should have got the memo.

Meh...this team wasn't that good with Sumner and there is a lot of revisionist history going on with Jr this year. He was about as inconsistent as any of our bags this year. Talented? Sure...but he showed up about once every three or four games.

I wonder if X has more turnovers than shots this half.

Not worth it dude. Would be less frustrating to watch Xavier's offense.

Ya, but he took the ball to the rim with force. He tried to break people's arms when he dunked it. Gaston and Omara would be better if they caught the ball and went right at the basket. Instead they catch, stop look around take a dribble, do 3 pump fakes and get block by a guard.

Gonna be in the committees hands cause we ain't winning this game

JR did bring an intimidation factor with him.

This is what makes this team so maddening. That stretch of the game was solid basketball.

I agree with Mack. There wasn't any foul.

If I say we can't win then they will do the opposite. Playing superstition now

We are winning this game.

Trying to imagine the score if we didn't have lazy turnovers.

The 2nd half turnovers at times have been bothersome.

This is it guys 3:16 to go possibly in the season.

Can we keep our composure in the last four minutes? If we don't turn it over we win.

Earlier in the 2nd half when omara lost the ball going up jp was yelling at him saying hold on to the ball. He should probably try and do the same. Not sure what's wrong with him. Started out strong and faded away after he hit the deck a few times. Hopefully he's not hurt

Bernard has played his ass off tonight. Thank goodNess for him

I love Malcolm.

Can't stop that drive. Tie game...........damn it.

PURE!!!!!!!!!

Now get 1 stop don't let them drive damn it and no open 3s.

Just stiffen up...one damn play. Do it.

Fioptics went out on me with 11 minutes left. Just got video feed back.

Let's go X!!!

Thank the lord...

JP Do IT

Seems like those shots have been falling against us all year

You must be ahead of my feed

I would never call a timeout and ice my own FT shooter.

Please don't foul. Just slow em down.

Lets fucking go!

Playing superstition. Looking like it will work

Yes yes. Yes. Yes yes.

Thank GOD!!! That was awesome!!!

SUCK It BUTLER

That is why you don't ice your own FT shooter but thank god X won.

Got lucky really Butler had a wide open 3 at the end just missed it.

Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!
