St. Joseph Game Thread - First Half

[X Factor]

Did you think St. Joe's was gonna roll over and die Mr. N?

The Hawks are a good team and they made a litte run with Brown and Duncan on the bench. We're still up 9 at half, which is pretty good.

Brown's 2nd foul was ticky-tacky! He has such an impact when he's on the court.

Nice to see Graves and Jackson make some shots and looks like BJ might be getting his stroke back.

GO MUSKIES!

Not at all, but I'm concerned about the sloppy ballhandling and general lack of offensive execution we showed in the last few minutes.

I don't expect X to be perfect (OK, maybe I do) but I've just seen too many big leads given away over the years to be comfortable watching this kind of execution. If we're going to beat a smart, well-coached team, we need to play a smart, well-coached game.
