Xavier post game thread.

[Palatine]

Somebody has to do it. Good guys win!

 

[Shamon30]

Diarra with a very impressive 2nd half

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Big East road win. I'll take it.

 

[The Viking]

The difference in free throws and offensive rebounding was astounding and yet we still win on the road.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Glad we didn’t speculate about next week’s ranking. We could’ve lost that one. /s

 

[RichCTBB]

Diarra looking like Joey C off the bench

 

[HuskyFich]

Thank god, the 42nd refresh worked.

 

[Shamon30]

And did anyone see what Stewart did to get the T?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Free throws….



Also hat tip to Jaylin Stewart. Not much in the box score but his D was invaluable today.

 

[3rdbass]

Thank god for Diarra. He was a one man show on offense and played great D on their guards. Without him I think we might lose with Karaban hurt during that stretch. We need to work on FTs in next practices. The game should never been this close.

 

[Chin Diesel]

A perfect game. A road win in conference, Hurley wins a close game, and they covered the spread.

And yet every naysayer can point to areas where UConn straight out sucked tonight.

That gash looked nasty.

 

[dingaling]

I thought Cam played great D. Kept his guy in front of him and snatched a few out of guys hands when they brought them low.

Diarra hit huge shots when it mattered like he has been doing recently.

That small ball lineup rocks.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

This team is better than last year’s team. Last year we lost this game. This year we basically took Xavier’s best shot and then knocked them out. Diarra is the man. This team is really really good.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

No sleeper on Sunday and we’ll be happy come Monday.

That end of game execution though…yeeeeesh.

 

[The Viking]

27 assists on 31 buckets. Is that good?

 

[MJKI]

Take a road win anyway you can get it. Always going to be ugly at the end. Gotta assume that FT shooting is an anomaly.
I think I’ll have PTSD from the horn guy at Xavier. That was so obnoxiously loud all game.
Other than that lol. Great game by Cam. His ability to dissect a defense and make the right decision in traffic is second to none

Teams work on free throws every practice

 

[Jaydumo20]

Jarra came through once again. I love him out there.

 

[Punkbo]

Not our best effort, but a solid road win. Cam and Jarra to the rescue!

 

[bendm]

Idk if it’s possible for Samson to stop fouling. I think we were 5/12 from the line before Newton iced the game. Almost crapped the bed but a good win nonetheless.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Really impressed with how hard Xavier plays. There are a lot of teams that would have packed it in if they were preseason Top 25 and then lost their two best players for the season. Respect.

 

[Candyman]

Free throws killed us all game. We miss the front end of 1-1 and then they come down and hit a three. Happened twice.

Hurley running clock instead of set plays led to two Castle threes. Last person on team I want shooting a three.

 

[Mister P]

Spencer keeps proving his worth
19 Pts
6 Rebs
4 Assists
4 Steals
1 Block

Star of the game.

 

[uh-no]

yeesh. that was some ugly stall ball and press breaks down the stretch.

Great play to get up 14, but need to close without nearly blowing that lead in 5 minutes. Room for improvement, and this isn't close with clingan.
