X by 7.5

[kyzrex]

ASU is not deep at all. They only go 7 deep and several of their players played extended minutes yesterday in a game that was up and down the court. I can’t imagine that they will be able to sustain that against a Xavier team that can go 10 deep. Xavier wears them out in the 2nd half.

Take X and give the points....easy pickings IMO.

If X plays like they did most of the game against GW I think it will be close

[26+6=1]

Last night's game against K State was high energy. Should be a good one today and Hope we do well, but am fearful that our rebounding woes will sooner or later land us in a lot of trouble. So far we have mostly played substantially weaker teams and our poor defensive rebounding efforts haven't cost us any victories. Can't figure out why this is a problem, but it is!

26+6=1

This will be a tough one. ASU is scoring over 90 a game. I agree that 2 games in 24 hours and a short bench could be their undoing. Let's hope we wear them down and take home a perfect record for Baylor

Kodi Justice went 9/10 from the floor and 4/4 from 3 yesterday which likely won't happen again. They had periods of being very sloppy against k-State yesterday so hopefully x can force them into some mistakes.

This is a PAC-12 team picked to finish 6th in the conference though. They have real talent. X can not afford to sleep walk through this game like they did against Hampton and GW. JP really needs to wake up.

Kanter playing great.
10 points in 1H so far. 5-5 from the field

[mumuskie87]

And JP is awake

ASU close on a 15-2 run to only be down by 2 at the half
X has their work cut out in the 2H
ASU guards have been too quick to guard
And Q has 3 fouls
Strong 1H for JP and Kanter
Tre had only 2 points so if his history holds true to form, then he will have a big 2H and looks like X will it need

what a pathetic close to the half. I love chris Mack but my god his teams love to turn the ball over, have prolonged scoring droughts, and give up lots of points at the end of halves.
