Tues/Weds Tournament Games

[CashewCrew]

Bad look if the fifth place BE team can’t beat the 13th place Sec team

Even worse - they finished 4th

 

[Revrat]

Not sure that playing Freemantle is helping them right now.

 

[gsmooth]

Miller needs to remove Freemantle from the game for the rest of the first half . Freemantle is a sieve on defense for fear of picking up his 3rd foul.

 

[mauconnfan]

He’s back and almost just picked up his 3rd. They have to sit him in my opinion

Especially shooting two 3s early in the shot clock while coming up empty.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Miller needs to remove Freemantle from the game for the rest of the first half . Freemantle is a sieve on defense for fear of picking up his 3rd foul.

And he’s been horrible on offense. He’s killing them on both ends right now

 

[aceboon]

Crazy that there were BYers hating on/downplaying Tre Johnson after the UConn game, 20ppg as a real 18 year old freshman(no holdback/reclass) in a great SEC that was loaded with seniors/5th year guys.

 

[Ripper32]

Conwell with 3rd foul. uh oh.

 

[HuskyHawk]

X needs to get this to 4-5 by half. They can.

 

[uconngb]

Conwell with 3rd foul. uh oh.

Didn’t realize he also had 2 bit leaving him in was really stupid

 

[storrsroars]

Conwell with 3rd foul. uh oh.

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

 

[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.

 

[HuskyHawk]

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.

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.
