Message: [QUOTE="sdglast, post: 5148669, member: 9195"] One thing on Xavier's 3 point shooting--they shot 13-24 for the game but 1-5 in OT. They were 12-19 in regulation for nearly 64%. Yes they are good shooters but they made a lot of tough shots (fadeaways, 3s moving to the side as they shot it, etc.). I would hasten to say UConn actually got the better 3 looks and made a far worse percentage of them (33%). Credit Xavier for playing hard and shooting great from 3, but shooting 3s at nearly 64% in a game is unsustainable in the long run. They played just about an A game for them in their situation, with UConn probably play a C to C-plus game, and UConn still found a way to win. Openers are never easy (Creighton can tell you that) in league play, so glad to have that one under our belt. On to Butler which won't be easy. [/QUOTE]
