Ramsey .?????????

Went to watch Coming to America prt Deux. Odom and Kunkel just shot threes. Guess how many points X got from those?

Scruggs must score 25 and Carter must not return

first half: pitiful

[skyhops]

And poor defense abs they hit a three. We are now mediocre, thanks Steele

[Anti-Homer]

One for twelve from three point land. Hopefully, Griffin plays 15 minutes in the 2nd, and Free comes in only when he needs a blow. X struggling mightily to score, so Kyky gets six minutes. Who do we play if we lose? Oak Hills Academy?

Guys,
I am at a loss, not trying to rationalize for Stele but maybe we’ve all over rated this entire team, from coaching staff on down. X can’t score against the worst defensive team in the league, it’s become too typical. We’ve had plenty of good looks close in and consistently brick them. Yeah I know we all think we take too many threes, but, for the most part our supposed good shooters are missing. I’m totally confused I don’t know what this is but it isn’t Xavier basketball. Was any one surprised that X gave up a three with 10 seconds left to go down eight, hell, we’ve seen that since the Mack years. Thanks for letting me rant.

This team needs Johnson.

Griffin needs more playing time.

I was on board with Travis getting another year to prove himself given that he only has a couple legit recruiting classes but after pulling Griffin, I don't see a reason to wait another year.

I see sky and anti beating their dead horses again tonight. X can't hit shots but D hasn't been that bad as Marquette is on a pace to score 64 under their normal average. X shot poorly but down 8 only because they hit a big three at the end of the half. Jones held scoreless so he needs to show up in the second half.

I see that anti and sky has called for a smaller lineup... they have done that tonight and we see how that has worked out.

MMan, we had 24 points against one of the worst defensive teams in league? Any thoughts? I said Garcia is an impossible matchup at the four.

[Anti-Homer]

X actually running an offense this half, and not just chucking up threes. Lead down to three. Who has been calling for this all year?
