Xavier Scouting Report



Even if he plays, an ankle will definitely affect Swain's ability to defend at the level we are used to seeing with him.

IF Swain is out, expect more Jerome Hunter at the 4 and even some small(er) ball w/ Marcus Foster (6'5 215) at the 4. Chance for Hugley to play more 5 too w/ Freemantle moving over to 4, but Hugley has played under 8 minutes in five of the last seven.
 
Doomed....

No. 19 UConn at Xavier ​

8 p.m. | Fox, fuboTV (Try for free) -- UConn finds itself in unfamiliar territory heading into a road matchup against Xavier. The Huskies have already lost two games against Big East competition heading into the last weekend of January after losing two total games in conference play last season. UConn needed overtime to defeat Butler in its last matchup, and despite being an underdog on the road, should come away with a win over an Xavier team that's won three of its last four games. Prediction: UConn +2 -- Salerno

Liam isn't walking through the door to play tonight. Play with the guys you have. Need tough D and Boards. Neutralize Freemantle as well as possible. Win 50-50 balls. If we can get productivity out of our second unit-esp. Reed and Mahaney- we should be able to squeeze out a W. If we can get freedom of movement on offense we should be fine. Stay close in the first half-close the deal in the last two minutes. UConn by 3

Apologies in advance for the positivity.
 
Gird your loins gentlemen. This is going to be a grueling game that will at best go down to the wire.
 
They need a W to keep their tourney hopes alive. Our offense is ugly without Liam. I hope Im wrong but I think they win by 10+

I don’t feel great about this one - Xavier needs it more and coming off a painful loss. Another game where we get to see if this group has stones. The one game that they’ve shown some is Gtown so far and even there had their ugly finish, which was so counter to the consistency this teams needs to establish.
 
Will be there plus 2. I think there are too many factors to point to A win by Xavier. Hopefully the good guys prove me wrong!
 
I think this is a critical game for both teams. On the road and Xavier is playing its best ball of the season. Hard to feel good about this one. Hope I’m wrong but I don’t see us winning.

Think im the fifth youngest person at Dana's wrf!!!!

If you remove his Seton Hall game where he scored 14 pts, Maddox has not scored a total of 23 pts total in all the games after the UConn game.

Update: in BE play, Dante Maddox is 8-13 from three against UConn and 6-21 against everyone else
