I hope the D traveled.

A guy named TOM summed it up right on twitter

"I understand there’s a lot of angst around #Xavier basketball right now after the loss to St John’s. But it’s pretty awesome we’re in a league where we get to face teams like UConn at Gampel or Nova at the Finn. That’s college hoops at its best. Super excited for today’s game."

Fox preview before the Noon game. They mentioned previewed UConn, some player, and the UConn coach. oh they mentioned UConn plays X next.

UConn -6.5, wow how things changed. I have little to no Hope for this one especially with their size. How about a decent start for once?

[Cliff Clavin]

Rough start for Scruggs all on effort. Doesn’t chase Jackson around the perimeter open three and then follows it up with zero box out the next time down on two putbacks for Jackson.

Nice to see Edwards get some early run at least.

Why in the world does Free and others not box out? Why isn’t Odom playing point? Thanks Travis

Kunkel is X's version of JP. Hopefully, Steele won't repeat the mistake he made ag. the Johnnies and limit his PT when he was/is the only credible 3 pt shooting threat. With him and Free in the game, X will inevitably have to play more zone.

I wonder if GJ winner and former leading scorer at his former league Stanley will get to play. Free-Bluiett having another rough start.
