AH is happy Hardin in game

[muskieman]

7 of 12 TOs by Scruggs, Hardin and Marshall so it was good to get them some game time to work on their game. Most of TOs were from soft passes or no paying attention to dribbling the ball.

Nice win and good to see D as they hold CU UNDER THEIR AVERAGES even after trying the 1-3-1 and 2-3 zones.

That was a fun game!

This team is really scary good. Tre and JP both going off and I felt like the big men were all very active around the rim. We played with a lot of energy and it was fun to watch.

Colorado is probably a 10-11 seed type in the tourney and we just blew them off the floor like they were one of the teams uc plays in their non-con schedule.

Welcome to the top ten Xavier, now keep it up!

For the most part, an enjoyable evening. Q was excellent as were JP, Tre, Gates on defense etc.
Blueitt passes up Gladden for the #8 spot on the all time scoring list & JP scoots past Davenport & Cage to #30

Liked the way X advanced the ball most of the time today with passes instead of just bringing up the ball by the guard. the three head center had 24 and 14 with no TOs and with Gates 30 and 20

Sidebar: Florida is biggest fraud of the season so far. Watching UC game and a decent passing team could be throttling uc but Florida looks like they are auditioning for the globetrotters and failing... no team ball at all.

Agreed Florida looks like they have 5 small forwards on the floor with no ball handlers or rebounders. Uc has turned it over like 18 times and still a one point game.

"I don't think they're a top 20 team. I think they're a top 10 team. If there are 10 teams better than Xavier, I'd like to see them. They've got it all - inside, outside," - Tad Boyle, Colorado Head Coach.

What's encouraging for this team, is that two of their top three scorers combine for only 9 shots, and they still push the score close to 100. This team has an unselfish culture like 08's team, but with all due respect to them, is more talented. JP scored in double digits before the 1st timeout, then takes 3 shots or so the rest of the way. Gates also doesn't care that he only had 3 shots and 6 points, because they won.

It still early in the year, but there isn't one team I dread X possibly playing, especially on a neutral court. To round out a good evening of cbb, UCk lost in NY. BTW, As a public service, ESPN needs to put a 7-second delay before showing a close up of Cronin and warn the viewing public. I saw his face on a 50' TV< and my eyes have been watering ever since.

I hope you're right, but don't see them making anything but the NIT. They haven't beaten anybody, and lost to a horrid CSU team. They have some good young players though.
