Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4844304, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Hot start, but having trouble extending the early lead, and couldn't seem to get it to double digits. Seemed Like it alternated between a 7 and 9 point lead for most of the first half. [*]The refs got kind of carried away late in the half. [*]Not sure we can play much worse than we did after we finally got the lead to 10 at the 7:35 mark. Less than 5 minutes later, it was a tie game. [*]Allowing various Mousketeers to get into the paint at will, and we couldn't seem to rebound at either end. [*]At the half, we had 2 points and 3 boards out of our bench. And we were getting smoked on the boards, 20 to 14. [*]As poorly as he's playing, Newton's not to far off pace for another triple double at half-time. [*]First half, Xavier couldn't shoot a three to save their life. First 5 minutes of the second. They go 3 for 3 from 3. [*]We got our double digit lead back at 7:18 in the 2nd. Need to hold onto it this time. [*]3:26. Must be time for the refs to go berserk with the foul calls again. [*]Thank God Tristen found his foul shot stroke at the end. [*]Xavier had 22 points from the FT line, compared to our 7. That is bogus. [*]Luckily, even the one sided officiating couldn't overcome their poor shooting - 36% fg and 33% from 3, compared to 54% fg and 46% from three for the good guys. [*]Castle and Newton combined for 19 dimes. The entire Xavier team had 16. [*]Newton finished 4 boards shy of another triple double. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
