Xavier up 10 at SJU at the half.
SJU 1/9 on three's of course.

Xavier is really good right now and they look like a tournament team. We're really going to be up against it on Saturday night.

The speed, energy and defense in this game looks foreign to me. Our team does not play like this.

I wonder if Dan Hurley will modify the defensive strategy vs St Johns considering how poorly they shoot 3s

Empty trips are starting to pile up for Xavier, this is playing out like Xavier vs Marq from Saturday

I’d like to see Xavier win here so they don’t come out so crazy against us.

Xavier is doing the UConn MSG thing where we shoot from the NBA 3. Take a step in to the college 3. I know it’s tempting

The matchup.... no good. Maybe Hurley is saving the zone for that game.
I don’t hate the matchup. Our defensive weakness is guarding the 3 point line. St Johns is the worst shooting team in the country. We’re actually not bad at guarding the rim. We’d need Taris to have a big game on the glass.

This is with Liam healthy in mind.

Xavier plays so much hero ball. This would really piss me off if I was a Xavier big.

Dribble penetration will be a problem vs. the Johnnies.

It will work against us though. We can’t guard anyone. We’re in for a very challenging stretch and I don’t feel too good about it. Time for our guys to step up and show us something.
