Re: Xavier thread
Damn. 81% and can’t hit front end. Costly turnovers down the stretch, but costly calls too.
You guys conplaining re: timeouts, it seems like a good thing he had that many in his pocket.

Re: Xavier thread
Real shame. Would’ve been nice to see the boys head to NYC.
Any predictions on when we hear any kind of announcement from Pippen re: next year?

Re: Xavier thread
Look folks… this was a heck of a game. Just came up short, but these were two good teams. Very nice end of season run and great to see the progress in the 2nd had of the year. Sure wonder what could have been if this team could’ve been reasonably healthy this year.
Tough loss but thank you Dores for making big strides this year!

Re: Xavier thread
Wright launched that last FT so quickly...
Too many mistakes overall...poor shots...and Xavier hit the shots when needed...nice homecourt advantage for them
Coach needs to learn to calm timeouts at the appropriate times ... calm the guys... put in a play ...
Sad...would have liked to see our guys go to NYC

Re: Xavier thread
No baskets for over 3 minutes to end game.
Tough ending. But also kind of a microcosm. We lost a lot of games late by just not getting the key hoop when we needed it.
Really a shame. Progress. Fun team to root for. But it always ends abruptly.

Disappointment, but a national TV game on the main ESPN, 3rd round of NIT...Captcook wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 10:12 pm Look folks… this was a heck of a game.

Certainly beats the heck out of ending the season with 20 straight losses. (Which was not that long ago)

Re: Xavier thread
love stack. But he left more TOs than the entire conference added up. I never seen a coach leave that many on the table

Re: Xavier thread
Wright is not a pressure player. Not only missed layups & free throws but that foul on that dunk also cost us. Stute's foul on that 3 pointer didn't help either. If Scotty had more help maybe we wouldn't have to depend on him so much!

Re: Xavier thread
Yeah, I think this is one of those things related to the whole team making fouls, unforced errors and taking crappy shots which ran in streaks...maybe at certain points the pressure ratchets up some and "speeds up" the game for our guys. Multiple times this season and a couple of times during this game we built good leads only to quickly let the lead evaporate. Scotty even had some horrible efforts driving late. I think this is an area the coach needs to recognize and address especially during the game.

Re: Xavier thread
He was one very unhappy fellow after the game on the radio: you could hear in his voice how absolutely determined he is to help us win. Talk about a competitor: when we get more talent we will be formidable.
