Baylor Game thread 12/03/2016

Hate to say this because I love Coach Mack. But, in most of X losses it seems it is due to being out coached in the second half. Disappointing.

So, hopefully we will look at this as a great learning experience. We are just as talented as them, maybe more. But they wanted this game more and stepped up their game. We played great until crunch time and lost our compusure. Missed FTs, lazy passes, silly reach in fouls, and not working hard enough to create good shots.

I second that emotion

Nice tackle by JP

JP has had a crappy game shooting but there is no quit in that kid. I love it.

Did they change the rule again? I knew they had changed it that if you called a time out before crossing the half court line, the 10 second clock does not reset.

Well...I guess you can say the same about Rick Pitino since U of L "blew" a 15 pt half time lead to Baylor.

Not sure how this is on Chis Mack. Xavier shot .327 from the field, missed 12 FTs, and turned the ball over 17 times. Not sure any coach could overcome that.

I didn't understand why Bluiett was out so long midway through the second half. That's when they went ice cold from the field and Baylor separated from us. In a game where he was feeling it, I really don't get that move.

Why did Tre sit for so lone? The big men are disappointing considering that they started the game rebounding. Baylor's bench won it for them because when they came in X was ahead and Baylor went on a tear. I would have like to have those 12 missed FTs

Baylor came back on Louisville when behind by 22 and it was their bench that helped them in that game too.

Move on and make them look at themselves and some of their decision making on the court.

8 assists and 17 TO's are not going to win you many games.
JP, Kaiser and Bernard go 2 for 15 from 3.
Outside of Tre and Ed, no one for X could put the ball in the bucket today.
They were 11-21 from the field and 13-15 from the line.
Rest of the team -
7-37 from the field and 3-13 from the line. That's some ugly shooting %'s.
