Tues/Weds Tournament Games

[aceboon]

Xavier gotta somehow get this deficit to 6-7 at the half and then hopefully figure out how to guard at halftime

 

[mauconnfan]

Texas playing out of their respective butts X needs to hang in 10 or so, don’t bring Freemantle back in though.

 

[uconngb]

Need Maddox to go off like he did against us with 22.

TX actually plays defense, big difference

 

[uconngb]

X just needs to survive within 9-10 at half

 

[Revrat]

Cant believe they are bringing Freemantle back in for 3 minutes. just deal with it and hope for a better second half

 

[dvegas]

Does it matter? There hasn’t been a NC from west of the Mississippi since the 90s

Close (enough) but not quite. What matters most is 23% are within a mile of the intersection of CT 195 & 44

 

[Revrat]

My god they cant even dribble the ball

 

[storrsroars]

TX actually plays defense, big difference

 

[Ripper32]

Only 9 from Freemantle/Conwell combo, yet down only 8. The supporting cast is keeping them alive.

 

[aceboon]

If they can keep Conwell out of foul trouble and get him going the game is still there to be won

 

[CTBasketball]

They’ve definitely got a shot here. Nothing from Freemantle or Conwell, yet Texas is shooting out of their minds.

A little D and the boys are back in town, then we’ll have a game.

 

[superjohn]

UConn had no trouble with Texas early in the season. I don't remember them looking this tough off the dribble when we played them despite having big name scorers.

 

[storrsroars]

That was an odd commercial break.

 

[AzHusky]

What is X at the FT line tonight

 

[NHUConnfan]

Holy smokes the crowd is LOUD

 

[superjohn]

What is X at the FT line tonight

4-8

 

[superjohn]

It feels like Xavier ran into a buzzsaw. Texas is really tough with Johnson, Mark, and Kaluma playing like this. SEC is insane this year.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Missing easy shots while UT makes hard ones.

We beat them handily. They aren’t that good. X isn’t executing.

 

[storrsroars]

Most games, you'd look at X's shooting % and you'd think they're having a good night and are probably ahead.

Unfortunately, they're up against a team shooting 60/55. Which always wins.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Texas is a doormat in the SEC and they are cruising over Xavier. The SEC is just that much better this year.

SEC were dominant in OOC as well. .889 winning pctge.

They look really good tonight, I have to imagine playing the SEC gauntlet got them prepared.

I'm not all that psyched about having an SEC opponent first round and if we're able to get past them an SEC opponent in the second round most people have winning the whole thing.

OU sucks. Florida, well they do not suck. Unlike Xavier, UConn knows what it takes in the tournament.
