Game 19: @#11 Xavier

Expected matchups:

Bash/Bluiett
JSimon/Macura
Shamorie/Goodin
Tariq/Kanter
Marv/Marshall

Marshall has been playing very well lately, O'Mara is a tough matchup against Tariq once he comes off the bench, need Yakwe's tough defense to continue.

Students back on campus, 730 Central tip time agreeable for working fans, it'll be a packed house. Going to take a herculean effort to overcome this one. I expect the team to play their hearts out once again.
 

I expect Owens, Clark, and Simon to each have 2 fouls before they take their sweats off.  Unlike MSG, other teams' home courts actually give them an edge in the calls.

Chances O'mara hits ten points? Shade under a hundred.

12 point dogs. After being competitive v Nova, I think we are due to be blown out. Xavier is so tough on the interior & those guys are good at kicking ball out for open 3s when doubled.  Tough environment too.

Game did not even warrant a blurb in the printed edition of the NY Post today.

I agree...  This game will be over by the 10 minute mark of the first half.  I also think this will be the lowest point of the season because we will not be competitive for the first time.  However, with that being said, this game will be spring board for win against Gtown. 

Xavier 93
SJU 71

This team seems incapable of two contradictory things, being blown out and winning.  Other than De Paul the games have been reasonably close.  The team is like a golfer who cant make the crucial 6 footer.

SJU made Maric look like Sabonis. More of the same tonight as Kanter, OMeara and Jones will have their way. X men by a lot.

And short several clubs in the bag

This is because their is talent on the roster. We have high division 1 athletes. This isn’t Johnny Flynn beating up weaker players.

What a program! We alternate between competitive losses and blow out losses! Praise the lord!

Only chance of not losing tonight is if we got snowed in at LAG.

Maybe the staff isn't talking to Zach...

Too bad there are no ties in college basketball at least we could aspire to that.

macura baits someone (Tariq ?) into a near fight.  Pat Driscol refing  charges SJU with 3 fouls on the play - a personal, a tech and a tech on the bench.  This springboards X to a 20 point victory.

That's what always beats us even in the 40 point blow outs, that damn refereeing.

Good luck guys. Hopefully we get a little enjoyment

#$%^ING REF SHOW 20 SECONDS INTO THE GAME LOLOLOL

On what team would Owens be shooting 3’s?

Can’t compete taking shots like that.
