Xavier Game Thread

Well, can our Warriors get to the semis? Game three agains the Muskateers.

Duane's quick shots leads to easy baskets for the other team. That's an example of bad offense leading to bad defense.

This could get ugly

im guessing settling for outside jumpers was not the game plan for a team which played the late game last night.

Yeah. I'm not liking the looks of this.

Yeah, this is a rotten start. And, Henry is on the bench. May have to reconsider that.

Henry with 2 fouls already,

Thank God for JJJ this game

Crowd looks decent.

Come on Traci - don't force it.

Smart move putting HE back in the game. It's paid off so far. Hopefully he can avoid picking up his 3rd

Nice response, could've gotten ugly after Henry's second.

JuJuan, Henry showing up early. Will need to Haanif and Luke to follow suit if we want a chance.

Haanif needs to step up. He's having a terrible game so far.

What does Duane Wilson provide when he's not scoring and running up huge shot totals?

Gus is bad about telling us what the calls are. There is a whistle and he keeps talking and play is resumed w/o telling us what the call is.

Whatever it is it's still more than Sandy

Sandy simply can't play d

Turn out the lights....

Sadly his D is much better than his O

Isn't his D the reason the apologists say he plays?

Henry has been a joy to watch this year, but JJJ's emergence has been a close second.

Yeah I'll be honest. I have no idea why Sandy plays right now. Would Wally be worse?

And I don't get the seven man rotation either.

30 footer swish.....

Jajuan Johnson (11), Henry Ellenson (10), Luke Fischer (7) have 28 of #mubb's 30 points. Everyone else is 1 for 13. MU shooting 34.4%.

Hate to say it, but this is multiple times this season that HE's immaturity shows up.

Fixed that for you. I'll be surprised if he's here next year.

I'm a complete homer and at a bar, but I can't see how that flagrant wasn't any more than legs getting tangled.

It was intentional. Did it warrant an intentional foul -- that's debatable.

Yep.

At least we aren't turning it over a lot.......Xavier is playing like our final 4 team did against Kentucky.

Step back 3s......30 footers.....you name it.

this team is just weak...getting pushed around. No boards. AND, JUST CAN'T SHOOT.

MU with only one player shooting .500 and X has only one not shooting .500 or above tonight.

Bad night. Marquette is mediocre. Might get an NIT bid but who knows.

Farr traveled - not that it matters.

And if they don't, I'm at peace with the season being over. Just can't get excited about a pay to play tournament.

I watch opposing players consistently get layups and shots off over our bigs. We really need an athletic big who can alter and block shots. Luke (and I'm guessing Matt as well) despite his height just isn't that type of defender.

I'm thinking Las Vegas.

Sandy needs to sit, I don't care who comes in. Your man should never get his own board on a 3.

Hard to chalk this up as "one of those games" when it's the 5th up game in a row with no defense.

Followed by the dumb and one. Sit him.
