Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5148767, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]3 minutes in, and we already had 3 blocks. Ended with 10, [*]Our shooting was definitely off tonight especially from 3. I think the whole squad needs a lot of 3 point practice. [*]The mouseketeers out shot us by a disheartening 54 to 33% from 3. [*]Rebounding helped offset our poor shooting, as we out boarded them by 8, including a 7 board edge on the offensive board. [*]Both teams shot a lot of FTs, and and both shot well from the line. But they were 18 of 21 from the line, while we shot an otherworldly 20 for 21! [*]Arguably we won this game on the right side of the box score. Rebounds 35 to 27. Assists 21 to 9. Steals 7/3. Blocks 10/2. Turnovers. 7 to their 10. All our starters scored in double figures. Including 3 of 20 points or better, compared to two 20 point scorers including one bench player for Xavier. Only 3 of their starters hit double digits. And we committed 16 fouls to their 20. [*]Mahaney in for 3 minutes in the first half. Our lead shrank by 6 in that 3 minutes. Was he involved? No, and that may be the issue. The only entry in his stat line that wasn't zero was the 3 for the minutes he was on the floor. He seems overwhelmed, and his confidence has to be shot. Sure hope he finds a way to turn it around. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
