Game 19: @#11 Xavier

Nice effort. However one team makes winning plays, and one team doesn't. Need to convert layups and need to do little things.

No one should be talking about effort.  They're 0-7.  Who cares.  Win even a single game, this is a joke.

Ponds killing us.  Can't keep blowing layups 5-17 from the field. 

Are you insane? Where are the rebounds? The whole defense goes with Ponds! Those are tailor made out backs.

LMAO, so can't blame Ponds for shooting less than 30% from field because he's creating offensive rebound opportunities.  You so crazy!!!

Those offensive rebounds by Xavier and easy putbacks every time! Killers!

First Nova, now Xavier. Similar type of games. The team stays relatively close but never really has a shot to win. 

Disagree.  They trailed the entire 2nd half against  Nova.

Here they actually had the lead and the ball couple of times in the 2nd half...

This was more Creighton...

Lovett doesn’t quit and we win this game.

These refs pay no mind to Mullin

Fair enough. Creighton the best comparison. These offensive droughts in crunch time are painful.

You don't understand once he makes a ridiculous assertion he has to go to great lengths to prove he was right all along...

Lovett doesn’t quit and we win this game.

Or WE have 1 of either Mussini or Ellison

Oh, how the season might look right now if he didn't quit..

That you are a pussy that has never played organized sports?

If they give same effort on Saturday they will beat Georgetown...no doubt.

If they don't beat Georgetown then 1-17 is in play...

Ahmed played tonight?

Right...youre the man of this board...the best...

I sit behind the bench most games . Mullin is relentless with the refs. He gets crazy respect because of who he is. He doesn’t work them . He annoys them . They turn him off.

Both would've been huge this season.

Mullin really needs to do a better job when it comes to substitutions. Need to buy a few minutes for each kid. Use the media timeouts as your friend. Sit a guy like Shamorie right before it as it gives him an extended rest. Can't just leave the same 5 in for the whole game, no matter how well they're playing. When depth is in an issue, have to play the bench guys in 2-4 minute spurts. Team was gassed with 7 minutes left...

No doubt? No. This team is cursed. I fully expect to lose to GTown regardless of the effort.

Good effort, unfortunately bad teams find ways to lose. They play well on offense but can’t stop the 3.   Team will get some wins, but gonna be tough.

This is where the bench coaches need to help. They bring nothing to the table
