Okay chris Scruggs did not come to play today maybe ya just call it a day for him.

Half of Providence's baskets are coming off of transition. X needs to get back on D. Unlike the Friars, X has had few transition hoops. One word for Scruggs. WOW!

I have to believe he has photoshopped pictures of someone in X's administration. Love his potential, but would rather see it against the likes of Colorado.

Scruggs has 4 TO's and 0 assists
Marshall is 0-3

Good set out of the TO by PC

Terrible possession to end the half with JP firing up a 25 footer.
X's freshman playing like Not Ready for Prime Time Players today.
Even X's FTs are off - 6-10 from the line

Scruggs turnovers are SOOOOOOOO frustrating. Pull him out of the equation thus far and perhaps we're leading.

CM has done an excellent job overall coaching this year but has laid a T-Rex sized egg in the 1st half, rivaled only by the E Tenn St game. Team is completely undisciplined. Last 33 seconds is a microcosm of this. Down 8, Macura takes a 3 with 20 seconds on the shot clock, which could have given Providence another look. Then, the shot they get to end the half is a 35 foot three. Never even explored a low post option.

I have faith both he and the players will wake up this half. Providence wouldn't be a bad loss, but the manner so far would be. 5 points or less, AH is taking X in the 2nd half. I'm keeping the faith that considerably greater overall talent will prevail.

Scruggs better not see the floor in the second half. The 2-3 is killing us. Didn’t
Like this game all week.

Terrible first half. Shot selection BY EVERYONE was awful, as many blocked shots as baskets underneath, lousy (really lousy) passing. The two freshman should not be playing. Paul Scruggs wouldn’t even make a good MCC league player.

Embarrassing performance. Villanova will laugh at X

PC is doing a good job pushing our ball handlers 8-10 feet behind the 3 point line and we keep letting them doing it leading to a stupid shots like JPs last one.
