Game Thread: Xavier v. South Carolina (11/25/2024)

First game away from home, I hope they come out different. 21 total fouls, SC has two with three we have one. Defense will be interesting in the second half.

2 assists and 1 for 11 is not ideal for a half.

Tough to accumulate assists when you don't make shots. Not saying the shot selection is great, but when you shoot around 30% and stay in the game because of a ton of offensive rebounds...the assist total will not look good.

Well that was a fugly half of basketball. 1-11 from 3 is a big reason.

Fugly indeed fell from that tree, hitting every branch on the way down.
Numbers should come around on FG%

Played like complete garbage and only down 5. Feel okay about winning this one still.

On the other hand, yikes.

Kind of tough to gameplan when both of the major bigs pick up two “fouls” in the first 10 min.

Free is essential to this team because he’s the only guy that can get a bucket in the paint in the half court. If he’s out, they will continue to hedge aggressively on shooters. Need to establish the paint to open up the perimeter.

2 bench points in a half where the bench got a ton of minutes.

Our second wave has ALOT of work to do.

Hunter doesn’t look anywhere near where he was 2 years ago. Invisible on both ends of the court

[GoMuskies]

Just way more crisp on offense already.

[Xville]

Hell of a game from swain so far. Coming out party?

[GoMuskies]

Great Xavier crowd!!!
