Providence game thread: 2/23/22

The question is who will be left on the floor when this game is over? Jack gone, Odom gone, Paul with 4.

Maybe Nate will limp on the floor and make three threes...lol

There's a 6'10" F-C who has played well in his 150 seconds. Might be good to insert him in.

Man just do not get their trust in Hunter. Ball bounces off his face, horrible shot, and hanging out watching watson collect two offensive rebounds.

Poor on Steele, can see the zone isn’t working and Scruggs is limping around and no timeout. Just horrible. Need a bucket.

[Anti-Homer]

Watson took over the OT. Its ashamed X had no one on the bench who is bigger than the 6'8" forwards X has on the floor.

Well we made Bynum look like kobe Bryant. And the refs made themselves look like tim donaghy.

I agree he worked well with Zach earlier but that dagger from Bynum was all they needed.

Hmmm well our season died because providence received:

1. A 20 minute time out when Xavier had the lead and momentum bc their PoS arena leaks.
2. A career game from Bynum bc Steele couldn’t stop a guy that averages 12 a game from scoring almost 30z
3. One of the most embarrassing officiating calls of all time when nunge fouls out on a “flagrant.”
4. We rolled with Jerome hunter in triple OT.

Watching hunter makes me miss the days of Jason Carter. All game long Providence dared Xavier to take control of the game and X flat out refused to do it.

To think Xavier had gone 32 (or right around there) years without having a losing record in conference and Steele is well on his way to his third consecutive losing record! Who would’ve dreamed 9-9 at .500 would be as good as it gets.

Looking at the positives Edwards, Miles, and Stanley did not get hurt while they were comfortable watching from the beat seats in the house!

Yea,

At this point, all of Hunter's minutes should go to Edwards and Miles. Scruggs had a tough first 35 minutes, but absolutely carried X in the final two O.T.s His defense wasn't good, but to be fair, he played a ton of minutes, so kudos to him.

Edit: And Stanley!

Ok guys. We played the best team in the Conference to 3 OTs in their house with crazy things happening and lousy calls against us. I think everyone gave it their all. PC is now 11-1 in games of 5 points or less. This will not hurt us getting into the NCAA. Our ranking in the NET might go up.

They are 10-1 still. They won by 7.

It was a wild game for sure but there is no more room to keep giving away games.
