Game Thread: Xavier v Villanova University (1/14/2025)

Where's Xuperman?

Will he come clean and admit he's was off on his basketball acumen?

He hangs out on the political thread.

This game should have been more comfortable: make another couple FT and shoot 3 ball close to average.

If they had shot the 3 closer to their average, they would have lost. They were 10/25…that’s 40%. They also shot 19/26 for FT’s. That’s 73%

I had to leave at halftime and go to church, so I have no earthly idea how we won that game after what I saw in the first half...but apparently I have to spend the rest of the season in church during games.

How? Ryan Conwell.

Their average was 39% before the game started, so they shot about normal

Wasn’t someone just saying conwell was a bad contract? Thought they played good defense. Some boneheaded stuff, but a win they might not battle thru just 10 days ago.

Heck of a comeback and Conwell was simply great at the end. A win in spite of all the warts like missed free throws that made another loss likely. The streak of empty possessions after Villanova miscues was frustrating to watch but they found a way to win which says a lot. The remaining games will call for more completeness that do not require last minute heroics. Should be an interesting ride.

Seriously, you might have to do that!

They show really good flashes. Can’t see em going full 40, but eliminate the really bad/dumbass plays. That’s a must if they want to beat any of the top teams

[Xville]

Find a way to beat Marquette and the rest of this season gets real interesting
