Game on National TV.
Ken Pom projects a 69-64 W for the Friars.
I think X gets a W today.
Got a 6 game losing streak monkey off their back on Wednesday night.

Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers.

The tos are simply ridiculous. So frustrating.

Sure wish the radio & TV could be synced.

Harden hits a 3 to give X a 22-21 lead.
Then Marshall shoots an NBA misses
Q throws it away.
Marshall turns it over
Hankins fouls 25 feet from the basket.
Q shoots and misses a 2
Marshall shoots and misses a 2
Now PC leads 27-22.
Same story, different day.

if X was just more consistant on D and O in a positive way

[Anti-Homer]

Scruggs is struggling, and TS sits him for major minutes again. That's fine, but Goodin is being Goodin again, but he isn't held accountable.... once again. Maybe Scruggs needs to tell TS to F-off," in front of the team, as Goodin did to Steele a couple of weeks ago, so he'll be reluctant to hold him accountable as well.

X is struggling offensively, so after Welage hits a 3, he is pulled for the dynamic offensive player in Castlin. Now, Marshall picks up his 2nd, and TS leaves him in. We saw how much it hindered Hankins against Creighton. The learning curve for Coach keeps getting steeper.

50% from foul line and 9 TOS and 1 Oreound for X not good.

yea, it has nothing to do with him having 2 fouls and TS trying to save him for the second half

[mumuskie87]

X down 26-32 at the half.
TO's - X has 9 and PC 5
Pt's off TO's - 11 for PC and 4 for X.
Difference in the game.
26 games into the season and X continues to give away too many possessions each game.
They just don't have the offensive firepower to overcome the giveaway possessions.
