No foul trouble., getting killed on the offensive glass, and down by 2? I'll take it. A lot of Zona players w/2 fouls.

4 Az guys with 2.

[mumuskie87]

Shid and Basketball have combined for ZERO boards. ZERO.
And SOM only has 1 board.

Keep Tre on fire and get some boards. Good first half and give us a winning second half by more than 2 points. Let's get some more fouls on the Zona players, especially the big guys. I have watched them a number of times this year and they (Zona) always seem to play a better 2nd half so we have lots of work to do.

JP played a great half.
8 pts, 2 nice assists and 3 boards.
That kid just leaves everything he has on the court.
Love his effort.

Feel good to be only bad by 2. Who will step up if Tre gets cold. Agreed on our bigs, they just don't box out and that goes for Gates too

Their bigs are really good. Need to keep scoring in transition whenever possible, because guards and wings can defend as well.

[Anti-Homer]

Ist play out of half will be a pass from Goodin to post player at elbow, and back to Goodin for a lab.

[skyhops]

Q no points 1 assist

[Anti-Homer]

Stat from Jeff Borzello: "Trevon Bluiett has 65 points in Xavier's last 80 minutes of basketball." Hopefully the scouts are noticing. He is doing this against NBA caliber defenders.

[Anti-Homer]

Need 2 bigs in at all times. Now AZ has double digit offensive boards.
