Musketeer Madness

A home game should have Cintas rocking and more so against Nova. Players out for X are Kam, and Zack Sean says Des is expected to be ready. Nova is 3 and 2 in their last five games, but they are on a one-game losing streak with a loss at Providence 85-72.

The last time X played Nova, they scored the most t points on the Nova squad this year despite freshman Cam Whitmore's season-high 26 points. Nava was missing guards Justin Moore and Jordan Longino in the first matchup as they were recovering from injuries. Moore accounted for 17 points and four assists in the game at Providence. Longino has provided defense off the bench after dealing with a strained left hamstring that cost him eight games.

Zack scored 29 against Nova in the first game

Lack of depth will hurt us especially since they had no answer for Free last meeting. We are going to have to shoot well from three and not go for every pump fake.

agree 'Hops, this will be another challenge in which Free's absence will hurt much more than others. Similar to our Butler match-up. Will need Hunter & Des to pick up some of the scoring load.

We will need to play defense like we have been of late and Nunge needs to have a big game on both sides of the ball if we are to win. His match up with Dixon is key. I don´t know how long Sean can continue to work his magic with us being so short handed. But Letś Go X! Play hard.

Not sure 15 threes in a half will do it. Gotta stay out of foul trouble also in the second half.

Pretty good defense in the first half. Shooting 15 three's is too much for one half. Don't settle for threes. Jones and Kunkel need to get going. Claude needs to stay out of foul trouble .Keep going to the basket and draw some fouls. Villanova has some strong guys. They look like a football team. Bring it home lads.

Too many quick threes by X. Playing decent D but letting Nova hang around. Normally X shoots 15-19 threes in a game and has 20 with 15 minutes to go.

Six for twenty on three point shots. Quit settling and run the offense, Drive to the basket.

Colby, Colby, Colby not on the three point shot
