With Watson out for creighton this is just two average teams playing

 

[Bearcat Rob]

That was a nasty dunk by Sumner. So many damn fouls called in favor of X. Creighton drove the ball 4 straight times,no calls, Xavier drives 4 straight times and fouls called.

Lol these calls have gotten out of hand

 

[prancer]

Lol these "Big East" refs blowing the whistle everytime Xavier drives. Almost without exception in the second half.

 

[UCalum08]

Lol these calls have gotten out of hand

It's sickening. And they blow the call on the other end when the ball clearly went off X.

 

[prancer]

Lololol make your free throws Creighton

 

[UCalum08]

Wow, how did they not put the ball in the bucket lol. Looked just like the SMU finish.

 

[prancer]

I think Mick's strategy in the Shootout should be to force X to shoot layups.

It's sickening. And they blow the call on the other end when the ball clearly went off X.

Xavier has missed more free throws than creighton has taken

 

[UCalum08]

Xavier has missed more free throws than creighton has taken

And they are still down only 3. Crazy stat.

 

[UCalum08]

Well, I think Xavier goes to the basket and draws an And 1 out of the TO

 

[Garybearcat]

Spiraling down the rankings

 

[Bearcat Rob]

And they are still down only 3. Crazy stat.

Xavier loses at home with creighton missing their best player. Three in a row. Can't wait to whoop those unranked losers next week. X is trash

 

[UCalum08]

Wow, did not expect that. Drive the ball, they call a foul every time.

 

[UCalum08]

Xavier def gets in their own head when things don't go their way. If we can get ahead of them in our matchup that would be helpful. They get flustered easy.

 

[UCalum08]

Creighton was straight cold blooded at the free throw line. That was impressive.

 

[Garybearcat]

X will be desperate for a win come crosstown shootout. Will be just that much more enjoyable giving them another L in the loss column.

You're exactly right. With that kind of desperation, if things aren't going well for them it could lead to a meltdown of epic proportions. Here's hoping...

 

[UCalum08]

X will be desperate for a win come crosstown shootout. Will be just that much more enjoyable giving them another L in the loss column.

No doubt! Not to mention UC should be playing with a high amount of desperation seeing we need a win over them badly.

I think they either blow Georgetown out or lose a close one on Saturday. Loss Saturday will lead to complete desperation for Shootout. They will be redecorating the deck chairs on the Titanic. We need to take care of business and have no hiccups.

Anyone who says Xavier isn't good is insane.

They aren't as good as last year, but 4 out of their 5 losses have come to legit top 12 teams and 3 were away from home.

Only Colorado is a questionable loss and playing in that altitude ain't easy.

All of there loses are ok, it's just they have no great win.

But anyone that thinks we're gonna run them out of the gym is insane.
