Thank you for the on site look at the Xavier game, good stuff.
A couple things of interest for sure was the pregame back n’forth with Hurley and that particular ref. I mean for those of us watching the game there was a clear lip reading post technical foul of Dan Hurley looking straight at someone mouthing “F N punk” multiple times. I’m guessing they had a few cold ones after to clear things up?
Prior to the game the announcers mentioned that Xaviers shoot around had some very physical rebounding drills to prepare for our obvious strength coming in. Don’t like Steele at all but he did seem to get through the importance of that part of the game, it worked for sure.
While you were right about Cole making some plays he also made some awful decisions on the break as well as in half court late. His miss of AJ wide open for a dunk on a 3 in 1 was killer and a forced pass to Sanogo to the interior that sailed oobs hurt as well. To be honest the missed lay up that Sanogo tapped in was a force as well Adama bailed him out. Like the kid a lot but he needs to be a better leader in closing games, make much better decisions.
