Good news for X - Mayo picks up his 3rd.

[mumuskie87]

Scruggs picks up his 3rd with over 12 left.
Both teams with 17 TO's.

[mumuskie87]

X is 27-31 or 87% from 2. Not bad

[mumuskie87]

X's FT defense has been stellar
24 TO's for X and 20 for EKU

[mumuskie87]

Well it's a win
Nice balanced scoring - 6 guys in double figures
Sloppy game, in part due to EKU's style of play.
Total of 50 TO's. 27 for X and 23 for EKU

Big test on the road this Tuesday against Mizzou

[kyzrex]

The turnovers (mostly) fell into two camps....

....the press caused X to make bad passes or travel in the backcourt


.....after breaking the press the ball was pushed forward and Jones either dropped the pass or the guard pushing the ball traveled or charged. The guards often waited to long to pass or pushed the ball too deep before passing.

Goodin only had 3 and Castlin only had 1.

The rest were mostly either from offensive fouls or can be blamed on inexperienced players handling the ball in situations they aren’t used to. Only spending more time in those situations can fix that.

I wonder how many times a team has won a game with more than 25 turnovers. Has to be an awful small %.

I figured we continue the careless sloppy play we will finish at the bottom of the big east. Naji continues to turn the ball over at an alarming rate and since Hardin And Kennedy have not played well there is not much backup.

Don't like our chances this year!!!! Seems like this will be a transitional period for the next three years. New Head coach, new assistant coaches , guys being place in leadership rolls without much experience and next season many newbie freshman asked to do much!!!! Keep the faith!!!
