Xavier -11 v Duq

[CarlosTheJackal]

Opening line. About right on form, but somehow I think this game is either inside 5 points or a blowout.

I guess they know about Drew's status?

This game scares the daylights out of me. I just hope X gets off to a good start and never looks back.

I have to wonder if Josh doesn't come down to earth tonight, in which case, CJ and Jason will have to answer inside.

Is it time for Burrell to have a good night offensively?

What worries me is Drew's bad ankle and the pressing/helter skelter style Duquense plays. X needs to break the press with good passes because I'm not sure if we'll be able to dribble thru it. Jackson, Graves, and Burrell will need to step up big time tonight and handle the ball against the pressure. I was hoping Drew could take the night off but that might not be an option.

Looking over their season you can see that this team is capable of of scoring but when they play a team that plays decent Defense then they go into a shell. They have had the occasion St Joes game where they beat a "good" team 102 to 88 but that was a home game. They lost to WVa and Pitt and they got embarrassed by the Bonnies on the road. but if X plays their D and values the ball I can not see the Dukes winning. It will be their super bowl but X saw that with uri, gw, ud, Umass etc, etc. I would like WKRQ for X to set the tone early that this is our house and X will defend their court.

I like Greg but tonight I hope X takes them to the woodshed.
