Wonderful. Basically just guaranteed that they'll go 16-20 tonight.

You didn't by any chance catch the UCLA - Hofstra game last night did you?

Yup.

Certainly didn't stop St Joe's

Speaking with Mizzou fans, they were not impressed by Xavier.

Offences is suspect, but D is strong.

We will roll tonight.

Bring on the Gators!

This is not true. We've been an awful shooting team so far. We were shooting 20% from three coming into today's game.

We have a starting lineup of great athletes that play spectacular defense, but on the flip side, they can't shoot. That's resulted in a lot of rock fights so far this year. We're integrating 7 new guys, 5 freshmen and 2 grad transfers. Our highest ranked freshman is hurt and he's probably our best scorer, which hasn't helped. We've had some problems with decision making and taking care of the ball. I expect this to be a battle. The game against Towson is the best we've played all year.

You have to be the only Xavier fan not in Charleston.

Ugh, then this will be a rock fight. Our offense isn't exactly stellar.

We had more fans than UF at yesterday’s games. I don’t know if more came today. We have somewhere between half and 3/4 the number of Xavier as appeared in yesterday’s game. I was actually impressed with our turnout.

UConn fans are at watering holes instead of on the streets.

I’m just judging based on people on the street. The only game I went to was the UConn game. UF seems to have a ton of fans here but maybe UConn people aren’t wearing our gear? Who knows.

2nd game in as many nights against a team that can’t shoot at all with our length advantage this would be a good time to go, dare I say it, zone.

Like St Joe's, they shoot 30% from three. And it's only that high because they played us.

 

[scoscox]

Agreed, Xavier is not a deep team. In their tougher early season games they played 5 guys 30 minutes or more. Only one big came off the bench in the Missouri OT game and that was for just 12 minutes. Only a 25% 3 point shooting team. Which means they will probably hit 50% tonight.

Fool's gold. We had a ton of guys out with injuries. Still have a forward and a guard hurt, but we've got three bigs available still. We're not thin.

 

[scoscox]

They're one of the worst 3 pt shooting teams in D1 this year and also last year. They're not particularly big. Key is to challenge them inside and exploit their lack of depth inside. If guys pitch back out, should get a lot of good looks.

to be specific, our bigs aren't particularly big, but our guards are huge

Sadly. we sent a small army down there

 

[browndog319]

Xavier is here IN DROVES! You can’t walk down the street in Charleston and not run into 5-10 of them within the first five minutes.

It’s going to be raucous tonight. There’s a big game feel here.

UConn is well represented but we don’t have the group Xavier has. They and Florida really showed up. We have less but we are loud and rowdy. After us, X and UF I don’t think any other school even knew their team was playing in this tournament. I’ve seen literally one person wearing Miami gear and one person wearing Missouri St. Zero St. Joe’s or Buffalo.

Maybe we’re more employable than Xavier/Florida alums?

 

[g_smith]

There is no evidence that Xavier will be tougher than Florida. Not saying we win but the defeatism after 2 promising wins is just...bizarre.

That’s what the last few years will do to a fan base

 

[Towney007]

Don’t feel like I was off on this one.
