Sloppy start for X; 5 turnovers already.

Byron said CJ not ready to play, and that Lavender's left thumb might be bothering him.

Charlotte 7-4

This game scares me more than any of the last few. If Burrell can shut down Goldwire and we can get inside points we should be ok.

[Mr. Neutral]

Burrell's on the bench with 2 fouls and Goldwire just hit two 3's, so that plan's out the window, at least for now.

X hanging in there at 14-12; it could be worse.

[McX]

Did Byron really say "tic-tac-toe 2 in a row?"

[Mr. Neutral]

Tied at 14.

Stan's back in; he HAS to avoid that 3rd foul. You have to assume that Goldwire's going to take it to him.

Bad News: Stan picks up his 3rd foul.

[Mr. Neutral]

Bad charge for Stan, and now he's got to come out of the game. Sh*t.

Wow, so many Xavier turnovers. We're lucky to be down only 2: 19-17.

[Mr. Neutral]

19-17 Charlotte.

Between our turnovers and Charlotte missing a lot of shots inside, we're lucky to be down 2.

Jackson and/or Graves are going to have to pick up some of the slack for Stan while he sits.

[Mr. Neutral]

A Brown 3 makes it 22-21 X!
