Xavier Post Game Thread

[BFieldHusky]

8th in KenPom. 26th on offense. Moved up 14 spots in 2 games. Still 5th in defense.

Good thing that call didn’t matter cuz that was some up stuff

 

[Sibeerian]

I've been waiting to say "Silas of the Slams," he finally dunked.

 

[REB1094]

Can’t complain about a 30 point win where the game was over after 5 minutes!

Xavier’s leading scorer had 14, and that includes 2 garbage time FTs with a minute left. Our leading scorers were: Silas (17), Reed (14), Reibe (14). Then Mullins at 13 and Ross at 11. Defense was elite and we had 5 guys near or above their leading scorer. Good recipe!

Silas is an absolute dog. 9-14 from three in his last three games

Tarris 19-20 FG in his last 3 games. Wow.

Braylon 10 points in the first 4 minutes. He moves different

Reibe looked really good and hit his FTs!!

Ross was tentative to start but composed himself for 3 threes and a (kind of) alley oop slam

That was fun!

 

[Lafayette]

Update Kenpom you cowards!

They did. #8, 26th best O, 5th best D.

This will keep changing since KP is only up to 8 of 31 games tonight.

St John’s in a fight with DePaul btw

DePaul isn’t awful, Holtman’s done a good job there

Braylon Mullins with 13 points? He had 12 5 minutes in!!!

That move he made in the first 2 minutes to keep his defender on his hip and get the 3 point play was some straight up Cam Spencer 5th year senior ish. Sick.

There's a "that's what she said" joke in here somewhere. I'm not going to make it though.

 

[nomar]

80 minutes of domination.

I hope these guys are saving some heat for MSG.

Hey McDermott, I guess you need a new bingo card because you definitely need a square for Ross making 3s.

This is why KenPom and other analytics are not everything. Two games ago analytics told us we couldn’t have these performances and couldn’t win a natty (based on historical trends). Now, two games later, the analytics say we can.

 

[Waquoit]

Time to put the bandwagon in drive. I fear no other team.

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Brian O’Connell is a loser bum thumb sucker

 

[Chin Diesel]

Dead people have a better graph than Xavier.

 

[KingAG]

Friday should be fun.

Ross with three daggers from three and an ally-oop. He was our best three-point shooter tonight.

Reibe and Ross were almost scoring a point a minute of playing time. If Danny left them on the floor, they would’ve had 30 each!

 

[JB75]

We re so deep we had 5 guys in double figures not named solo, Karaban , Stewart or Malachi. Wow

 

[Donyell 360]

Braylon Mullins with 13 points? He had 12 5 minutes in!!!

He was so dominate early I was starting to wonder at what point does he become our best player? Seems we are not quite there yet but it feels like it is coming. Not sure why he sat so much in the first half. Wish Hurley played him more.

Eh who cares if Kenpom factors in our history and says we are 26th best. The last couple games things are clicking and shots are falling. We’re playing like a top 10 offense easily.

Demary was pretty good from 3 as well. It seems like he is automatic when open.

Foul trouble

 

[uconnblueinky]

Did anyone have Ross shooting better than Ball from 3 this late in the season?!

 

[JB75]

St John’s in a fight with DePaul btw

U might think im crazy but for various reasons we do not want St. John’s to lose to DePaul

 

[ec33]

These wins are good for the heart

Yup. That was a good kind of boring.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Is 26 assists on 34 field goals good? Asking for a friend.

17 on 19 field goals in the first half was ridiculous

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Jayden Ross the new Ray Allen all of a sudden.

He’s always had a very nice looking 3pt shot. He’s money from corners. I bet he shoots 80% from those spots in practice

He had two fouls

 

[uchusky32]

Complete game. Played to their potential. Not down to the level of their opponent. Dialed in.

 

[Donyell 360]

Smith played 15 minutes and I can't recall one positive play. That was a bogus tech but even that didn't go his way. I guess he had 2 rebounds but he seems lost out there. Not sure why Hurley waited until 2 minutes left to put in Millender. Seemed like a good opportunity to give him a look. Of course he air balled a corner 3 but would like to seem him get more opportunities in a game like this.

 

[prankster]

Great game but that flagrant on Malachi was garbage.

Forget it Jake. It's BE refs.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I really want Demary to take over. He’s an efficiency demon at this point, please increase your shot volume to take our offense to new heights.
