Game 19: @#11 Xavier

Keep driving the ball Ponds, they can't stay in front

Let's see what we run out of a timeout here

There it is. All game, every game he should do that.

AYFKM!!??

Why no timeout and set a play for that last possession. Instead a falling 3 pointer

I wouldn’t have wasted 2nd timeout. Mullin needs the timeouts to give rest. Which he won’t do.

Alibegovix cant get into any game you have an intention of winning. Don't care how thin our bench is.

This is the main place the staff loses my confidence. This team allows opponents to shoot 37% from 3. That is 266th out of 351 teams in the country. They allow opponents to shoot 43.6% from 2. That is 15th best in the country. Yet on defense they still overhelp off shooters and close out soft allowing them to shoot instead of making them put it on the floor and go past them. How many #$%^ing teams have to light us up from 3 for this to change?

No need for rest after down 10+

All of them

Does anyone on the staff advise Mullin during the game?

This team has too much talent to suck this bad. Coaching.

I disagree. 1 player that would start on most other Big East teams

Ponds, Simon, Owens with better coaching would start for just about every BE team. Depth, and complete lack of strategy/coaching/discipline is why they are so bad.

Who out of Bluiit, Kelan Martin, Mikal Bridges, Foster, Desi Rodriguez, and Alpha Diallo do you sit for Simon?

At some point it's not just "oh pity us because teams shoot the lights out against us". It's not an accident or dumb luck. You give good shooters open shots they will make them

Not even being a dxck, how can they ? None of them no what they are doing. We hit some shots. This game is about to get ugly.

What is Ponds doing letting the ball roll up the court with the clock running at the end of the half?

Simon might start on DePaul and Georgetown, other than that, I don't see it. He's our 2nd best player

Our 3 point defense just keeps getting better.

Why does it matter? The inbounder rolled it and he let it go for two seconds at a pretty good speed.
