Xavier

Piss poor BB IQ is why they lost again. Its getting redundant. Not that Cobb should of got the ball, no way in hell I draw that play, but if thats what was called Cobb has to know he had his guy way up in the air. Shoot into him and draw the foul and their shooting 3ft's to win.

So easy to say from the couch.

These last second losses will make them hungry or make them fold.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

It's not luck that they have better players and a better coach. But we have effort.

I don't think they have better players.

Few thoughts

TC, Cobb, Shaq, Clark, Ellis need bulk of the minutes. Two best perimeter ball handlers and shooters on the floor, two best big guys, and a guy who can create mis matches all over the floor, when shaq is attacking I have no problems with him.

Not a fan of the zone as much as we are using it. We are fine when we play man, better IMO. I'm fine with a little zone here and there but we have length athleticism and shot blockers, get up in your man and force them to drive into those shot blockers.

Hated the outcome of this game, loved the fight we showed, still hate Xavier. Crunch time now, need all the wins we can get.

Going to be fun watching Clark develop every year, has all american written all over him. Go Cats!

Helluva game, heartbreaking loss. Im out.

I think we have found our rotation.

Cobb, TC, Shaq, Clark, Ellis

Morman, DeBerry as main bench guys. Sanders with spot minutes.

They said on the broadcast that we've now lost 11 of the last 16 to X. I didn't realize it's gotten that out of hand.

You gotta love that stretch at the end of the first half where we allow X to shoot uncontested three after uncontested three from the corner, without timeout or adjustment, to take a 12 point lead into halftime, laughing on the way to the locker room. Then miraculously they switch to man after half and shit it down. Too little too late.

Good heart and effort coming back.

Hate, hate, hate not driving the ball to the basket at the end of the game. Clark played tough, loved that. Also really liking Shaqs game lately. Just wish Caupain was that go to guy that took the ball to the rack and scored or gets fouled at the end of the game.

Oh well, blew it in the first half.

Xavier 21-33 from 3 last 2 years on us.

Agreed. It might be time to insert Thomas back into the starting lineup.

I'll splitting tc and Mormon minutes until tc proves his best player on team

100%. He deserves it.

Tough loss. Could have won the game. Couple things...

LD was terrible with his timeouts. Can't call a TO when Xavier is shooting the FTS. Let him shoot both then if he makes em call a TO.

Cobb can't shoot a 3 at the end. You have to drive to the hoop being down 1. Inexcusable.

Reynolds is a b!tch. Dirty punk player.

Proud of how we battled back.

Ughhhhh. Tough game.

I thought we we're in man. Look still like a zone

Thought I was only one that seen Reynolds soft ass

We HAVE to win @Tulsa

 

[Bulldog01]

Let him come off bench. Can play starter minutes just think best get feel for game first from bench

 

[Mcginnjw]

We probably need to win out considering who we have on the schedule.

 

[Cin City]

We HAVE to win @Tulsa

Houston first.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Houston first.

Yep. You're right.
