Xavier Post Game Thread

[thekollieman]

Watching Mullins in the open court is really exciting where he can create as well as shoot. Ice in the veins. Great future ahead for this kid.
Our staff knows how to pick the kids who fit in. Also feel better about the depth on the bench this year.

His oop to Solo was incredible!

I’m expecting 20 of those

As was said already "No message" - just normally means all info is in the subject line and there is no more text. In this case temery was only opening the post game thread with a blank post.

Ah, thanks!

Reibe continues to impress. He had the great sequence with the dunk and then the absolute Clingan-esque denial on the other end.

He just needs to get his FTs in order

"Then Demary picked up his third foul. We told him not to but he did anyway."

All 3 were dumb fouls too

Not a single mention of Michigan in this thread. Am I in the right place?

Nelson will be posting soon to tell us Xavier is a great team and if you disagree it’s because you want to join the AAC. Xavier was completely overmatched. Game was over at the 12 minute mark.

Tarris Reed looks like he put on muscle, was using it too. Reibe off the bench looking tall. Got shades of Sanogo/Clingan today!

Every team except for a few are overmatched against us this season. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if those few look overmatched against us if we meet up in March.

Xavier is bad but they had no trouble with West Virginia and Cincinnati.

Isn’t that where the kid Wolf from Yale went?

 

[Class of 09]

im being slightly hyperbolic but also slightly not. If AK continues how he played tonight. He's firmly in the conversation of GOAT Husky.

His oop to Solo was incredible!

That and the first assist to Karaban were both things of beauty. The pass to Karaban could not have been a millimeter more perfectly placed. It was incredible.

Great win despite the last 8-9 minutes of the first half. Would like a bit more step on the throat from them in these situations but after a 10 day layoff it was pretty good everywhere.

Solo is still struggling from 3 but the rest of his game has improved so well, including his passing. Solid 2nd half, hit some daggers to quiet the crowd, when needed.

On to Marquette Sunday!

If not, we should consider him as a transfer!

 

[Bazz2014]

Seems like a break in games and plenty of practice time was just what we needed to get things ironed out within the offense. Like many, I have been all in on Mullins from the get go, but this was the first game he actually looked like he knew where to be in the sets. And it certainly paid off.

And what’s crazy is there’s still room to improve. I am firmly in the “really liking Silas” camp, but he is no where near his ceiling. He is already helping this team, especially on the defensive end, but if the light really goes on for him and he finds a way to balance the distributor/creator/scorer parts of his role, then we are a wagon. It seems like he’s figuring it out, and we have a good slate of games ahead for him to keep making progress.

We're good people

Enjoy the ride

I may be wrong, but I think I saw Demary finally playing above the curve. Could he finally becoming more comfortable running the offense? Thought he was better than Smith.

 

[Umami Zen]

Game is starting to slow down for the Kid (BM).. March Madness will be epic

A good day for UConn basketball. Back to back convincing wins for Women and Men

Tarris looked good. Ball, Mullins and AK make it easy when hitting shots. Loved the alley oop from Mullins to Solo. Need more of those. AK’s jam was pretty cool as well.

No Ross tonight? Sorry - just catching up

Hamstring injury listed as day to day

Neiman Marcus. I think it's some kind of shopping reference.

Who among us did not want to buy a helicopter through the Neiman Marcus catalog?

Did I miss something? I didn’t see him miss too many tonight.
I thought that this was perhaps the best all around performance from Solo in a Husky uniform. Complete Game and nearly perfect IMO.

Xavier is bad but they had no trouble with West Virginia and Cincinnati.

As a point of comparison, Xavier's NET is 78 spots ahead of Ga Tech, which lost to Duke by 6 in Cameron tonight. It was a one possession game with 90 seconds left.

KenPom brutalized Duke for that win. They're now down to 9th. We moved up to 6th.
