Providence (RI) Journal game stories

Postby Mr. Neutral » Tue Feb 19, 2008 10:05 am

Very complimentary to both teams, as they should be.
The 3rd story mentions that there were scouts there from 5 NBA teams; I'd love to know who they were there to see.

Always appreciate your links, Mr. N.

Great stories, except misidentifying Jackson as Graves in the lead photo.

<<...except misidentifying Jackson as Graves in the lead photo.>>>

It's an easy mistake to make, as the photo clearly shows a "2", which would be Graves, but if you look, you can also see just a fraction of the "0", which would make it Anderson.

<<< his three seniors — Lavender, Duncan and Burrell — have grown into stars. They won the A-10 tourney as sophomores, won the A-10 regular season as juniors >>>


So why not win both as seniors ??

Actually is was Jackson in the picture (as Carlos said), not Anderson or Graves.
Fathers James Hoff and Michael Graham, AD Mike Bobinski, and Head Coaches Staak, Gillen, Prosser, Matta, Miller, & Mack represent a Golden Era of Xavier Men's Basketball. AD Christopher and Head Coach Steele will bring us to an even higher level!

I didn't think that was CJ, but I forgot that Jackson's number is 25.

I spect they were looking at Daniels Duncan, and Brown.

The real gems from the Providence writers!

“ Everyone goes after the king, which is what Xavier is.”

“The Musketeers are disciplined, balanced, athletic and they play great defense.”

“And when they had to, down the stretch with the Rams coming after them, Xavier fought the crowd, fought the noise, and made the kind of plays a good team has to make if it’s going to win on the road.”
