1. Can We make an outside shot? Four minutes in, we're 0 for 3 from deep.
2. And 20 seconds later, Diarra breaks the draught with a three.
3. Solo gets us back into it after we go down by double digits.
4. But we're falling right back out of it. Whole team just seem out of sync
5. Whoa! Mahaney goes on an 8 point tear, and we're right back in it.
6. Somehow, we go into the half leading by a point.
7. Speaking of half time... When was the last time we attempted 15 threes in a half? Wish we'd made more than 6 of them though.
8. Our two centers have one board apiece in the 1ST half. And 4 buckets between them, but they're both shooting 100%..
9. We lead in boards (14-12) and dimes (11-8) at the half.
10. Karaban hits a three 30 seconds into the 2nd period. Finally! Unfortunately, it was his only made 3, (went 1 of 6) as his long range slump continued.
11. Surprised they gave Sampson shots on that foul at the rim early in the half. He had lost control of the ball on his own before Freemantle hit his arm, so was it really a shooting foul?
12. Ross looks lost out there.
13. The relatively even foul calls of the first half quickly became a distant memory 8 minutes into the 2ND half. 8 on us, 2 on Xavier. There's another one, so make that 9 on us. I believe the Brent Hampton has called 6 of the 9.
14. Alex fouls out on an imaginary call with 3 and a half minutes left. And like all his 2nd half fouls, it was called by Hampton.
15. Solo couldn't hit a three in the 2nd half, but got us within 2 from the line after being fouled on a three point attempt with under 1:30 left.
16. Reed only played 11 minutes. Scored 3 points and had 2 rebounds and 1 block.
17. Stewart and Ross both had horrible games. They combined for 37 minutes and contributed 2 points and 3 boards between them.
18. Both teams shot 26 of 65 from the floor, including 7 made three pointers. The difference in score came entirely on Xavier's 4 more made foul shots. (they attempted 24 FTs to our 17)
