Four point swing there with missed free throws. Frustrating. We aren't just missing threes, we are really missing them badly. Not optimistic about the vesper. Xavier is just a very bad matchup for us, minus the first 18 minutes the first time we played them. Yeah I don’t know why we match up so poorly against them. Im guessing part of it is tempo, part is that they play bully ball inside and Govan struggles with that. If we hit perimeter shots at our average (minus Mac’s stepback heave) it’s a lot closer game. We’ve missed open shots too.

Xavier sucks. They throw up some real bricks. Yet for some reason our offense is brutal against them.

They just push us around, our bigs especially - it's very annoying to watch.

I like Akinjo but when the ball's in his hands it sticks and he doesn't make things happen, forces shots and drives straight into guys. Seems like he doesn't see the floor particularly well.
They hardly seem to run pick and roll except when nothing else works, could be running Mac and Akinjo off Govan all game.

Total momentum killing call that should honestly be investigated as there is no discernible reason for it. Agree. One of the most egregious calls I have honestly ever seen. There has to be some forum to review something like that. Josh was literally standing with his hands up getting pulled by a guy with two hands around his waist one can’t help but wonder if there isn’t something funny going on when you see a red make a call like that.

I hate that Ewing started the game with Kaleb instead of Morko...adjusting to X instead of enforcing our will on them....Morko had played so well against StJs and we could have capitalized early....

Pickett starts over Johnson to start the 2nd half

The team that can't shoot 3's has made 5. We on the other hand have made - let me see, I'm not sure I can count that high - zero. 0. Nada.

In theory it worked defensively because we weren’t getting bullied by Hankins and Jones but offensively we couldn’t buy a bucket. Does the threat of Pickett’s outside shot open things up, maybe, but we got the ball in the post on the first 2 possessions to Govan and Leblanc and both missed bunnies.

Driscoll must have something against Leblanc cause that’s a second bs call.

Defensively have to do something about Scruggs

Scruggs is the only Xavier player in double digits scoring.

I'm sorry, how do you call two phantom fouls on the same player over the course of 7 game minutes?

James is playing much more under control after the Marquette game but at times I think he may have become too passive. Needs to look to score a little more on some of these drives.

Akinjo's scoring has woken up this half
