Musketeer Madness

Do we even want to comment on this

Yes.
See my post last week on fundamental basketball.
The problems rear their ugly heads game after game. With no improvement. Please forget about what they can't control and watch what they can. Already today there are more unforced turnovers, missed freethrows, no shot fakes, no screens. I tivo'd Gooden playing on the ball defense before his second foul-he standing straight up 5' from the player he is guarding and the guy blows right by him. Who is teaching him defensive fundamentals?
Watch Marquette on offense. Every guy catches the ball, gets in triple threat and makes a SHOT FAKE. Our guys leave their feet EVERY TIME. Rousey does it the best. With the scorers out, this staff is being exposed for what they are not teaching these players. This game was going to be a loss from the outset, but so many mistakes and the coach sitting on the bench with a dazed look on his face is very disappointing.
As long as I can remember with this staff, Xavier looks like a team playing basketball on the playground. We can't even get a jump shooter open for a single three point attempt. Sorry, not wanting to be negative, but I feel this way even when they win.
Also, I know the dude is a walk on, but Stainbrook plays pretty good on the ball defense.

To only be down 12 is somewhat stunning. Marquette hasn't seen a three they won't take.

shame we don't have a point guard that can score the ball on drives

We don't have the shooters to stay with them tonight

Worst officiating crew in the Big East. Theye need to be fired!

They should not be officiating grade school games.

I guess the program is on hold until Trevon comes back. Didn't know we needed him to show effort or pride. Let alone play defense or get a loose ball.

Looks like I was being optimistic when I said they would go 1-4 in their remaining games. Right now winning a game is a pipe dream the way this team plays. A point guard who can't score, a coach who says he is doing a poor job and then looks like a sweaty deer in headlights the very next game, no defensive effort and a non existent bench. 0-5 here we come!

certainly Anderson, who always is poor, made poor calls and then added to it by making poor Tech calls. Announcers even mentioned how poor they were. Still the loss of Ed and Tre are too much for this team to handle and unless Tre comes back 100% and is able to remain on floor the team has real scoring problems. Tonight the big guys were all we had and with the guard shooting of Q and JP we were miserable from the outside and made some poor passes to the post. Sad to see so much promise killed by injuries and stupid decisions. BUT the season is not over and I hope we never see prancer(Anderson) in the Cintas ever again...unfortunately we will
