Musketeer Madness

Thought I'd get it started early to catch any comments you may have and keep them in one thread.
GO X!

Important game for Xavier and the Big East. BE stands 1-3 after 4 games with the Big Ten. A resume builder opportunity for Xavier and needed quality win for the Big East.

Need a fast start, to quiet the crowd. Avoid turnovers the one weak area in the first few games and the GUARDS have to help on the defensive end with rebounds.

Scruggs and JP are doing well rebounding. They are both out rebounding Gates. However Q has only 1 rebound.

i think there's been 5 games and we are 2-3. Creighton and Seton Hall both won, right?

There are no must win games this early in the season obviously but this is a Should win game with a capital S.

Wisconsin has one senior (thorn in our side Ethan happ) and a very inexperienced back court (their top 4 guards are sophomores and freshmen).

These are the games we should win because Tre stuck around. Tre and JP need to use their senior leadership to take control of this game. It's a huge early season road test that will look great come march if they get a win.

I expect Mack to mess with the lineup much less and rely on Tre and JP along with a rotating front court to stop happ and get a W tonight.

SJU gets a W against Nebraska. All even at 3 each. Time for X to put the BE in the lead.

No changes to the starters. JP, Tre, Q, Kaiser and Basketball Jones

Nice start. Won the 1st war
Jones with 2 buckets. Great drive by Q
JP - good and bad. One forced 3 and a TO
But has 6 points to lead the team

Wisconsin's guard cannot stop JP and Jones has been a beast. See what Sean can do. Getting to basket but the 3 point line has not been kind 0-2.

X gets cold but finally make a basket on a transition B
