Honestly,

If anyone should be subbed out for O-D, it should be Bluiett, not Macura.

Well, it's a W

Congrats to Coach Mack on 203

Just want to say KK is amazing. X almost double up on the rebounds.

Kaiser had 11 points and pulled heavy duty defending Shamori Ponds

Good coaching by Mack by going with Kanter and Gates, which made the difference. I would have tried to exploit the lack of depth which is the main reason for the win. Our defense and lack of effort on defense has been a concern in big east play as well as PG play. Congrats to Mack on the win. Agree with AH on pulling JP vs Tre.

Ugly win, but hey...that's the big east. Every team is gunning for you, especially a team who desperately needs a win.

Happy to walk out with a win and a BIG win for Mr. Mack!

Go X! Keep zippin em up!

First 5 games of the season I was thinking he'd be another big body for VERY limited minutes. Now he's turning into our finisher and so incredibly thankful to have him. Might have 4-5 more losses without him.

Props to Mack and coaching staff for their relentless recruiting!

The Xavier Way!

JP wasn't having his best game defensively, especially when we were in man to man. he also was having too many "JP lazy pass/not taking care of the ball" moments.

you don't sub Tre out at the end of games on D unless he's in foul trouble. it's that simple.

Unable to get feed last night in Naples, Fl. So did other things. Enjoy reading the game threads along the way. Kudos to our assistant coaches for their input every game. Started a thread about that, but wanted to put that in here too.
