First half thread

a better question: Has Xavier scored so few points in the first half this year?

Nice end of half defense X..is it me or does this team not seem to have any fire tonight.

Who said Duncan was playing soft? St. Joes is too big for CJ to do his thing down low, so hopefully Sean will sub accordingly. Miller cannot be happy with the defense and I don't think Stanley can handle the taller Calathes.

They're not playing like they want the win. I hope Miller is ripping them in the locker room.

Another half, another no-show for Drew. Is it timed to be concerned or is he still rusty?

[BlueBlob]

it almost looks like they've read all the garbage about Drew's ankle and how St. Joe's needs to win to even get considered for an at large bid, and this is senior night and this is the end of their band box gym for 2 years, etc. and they just didn't come to play. or at least not to match the intensity of St. Joe's.

[muskieman]

Could it be the Senior night, the last game in the building, the co captain(Nelson) and the co coach (forgot the guys name already-was an NBA coach-Ramsey) and all that adrenalin in the first half that made X look like they were playing in slow motion. Willl St Joes wear out from all the hype and X take the second half?

[XU84]

I am wondering if he's going to return to playing like the Drew we knew and loved. If not, we're going to have a tough time in the A10 and NCAA., even with a great seed.

[skyhops]

Because it is senior night should our seniors play like crap? The #8 should not make excuses and should show a better effort on the road. If Drew is hurt than rest him until the A-10 tourney.

Now they call the travel on Jackson...he took 1 less step then the last St Joes player took under the basket.
