I hope Kenny can carry over tonight from the LSU game.

[kyxu]

This "game thread" is about as active as Xavier's offense tonight.

[bobbiemcgee]

26-11 Great White Hope has 10. Char shooting 20%. 4 mins to half

[ThePowerOfX]

What a strange first half, Redford misses 3 more threes, CJ goes 2-2 and Kenny goes 2-3 from the FT line while love and raymond both miss theirs.....

Frease is looking really good....

[bobbiemcgee]

28-13 holloway @ the horn for 2.

[bobbiemcgee]

Halftime X 31-13 Char 16% shooting

[D-West & PO-Z]

Halftime X 31-13 Char 16% shooting

They shot like 26% for the game in their last game.

[bobbiemcgee]

BJ and Kenny 13 apiece

[MADXSTER]

How many will Kenny end up with? I say 20.

[xubugg]

defense is getting sloppy in the second half. We have got to get that killer instinct. We should only give up 40 points. Lets finish this strong.

[D-West & PO-Z]

How many will Kenny end up with? I say 20.

I can only watch on gamecast but i assume he is dominating down there when he gets it. I will say 18 though.

[MADXSTER]

Mack picks up his 3rd foul. He sits down. Xavier needs to take advantage of this.

[MADXSTER]

CJ 4 for 4 from the line. BJ and Redford on the court at the same time really spreads the floor for everone else. Interesting.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Whats going on with Derrick? Just struggling?

[xubugg]

lets make our trips down on offense count getting sloppy.

[MADXSTER]

Our guys need to work on how to come around a screen.

They are soo wide they induce the guy setting the screen to move to make it effective. The overated Burrell would come so close to the guy setting the screen that he would purposefully touch the guys knee.

[MADXSTER]

44 to 25 Xavier.

Brown steps out of bounds by almost 6 inches.

Raynman is making it rain tonight.

[MADXSTER]

CJ knocking down the FT's tonight. 6 for 6

[bobbiemcgee]

BJ having one of "his" games. Kenny another big Dunk.

[MADXSTER]

AWESOME pass from Holloway to Frease. Credit Holloway.

[xubugg]

great look by the freshman.

[MADXSTER]

56 - 36 Xavier

[bobbiemcgee]

Brown not scoring but has 11 rebounds.....Mack with 4 fouls can't defend.

[bobbiemcgee]

BJ is everywhere.....

[MADXSTER]

Xavier 60
Char 40

[bobbiemcgee]

BJ 20 and 10

[MADXSTER]

Xavier 64
Charlotte 44

2:14 to go

[MADXSTER]

The Big Frease with 17 points

[MADXSTER]

McLean with the left handed reverse lay in.

BJ with 6, count them 6 treys.

[bobbiemcgee]

BJ and the deep freezer

[bobbiemcgee]

Finale X 69 Char 47

[MADXSTER]

Final Score

Xavier 69
Charlotte 47

[bobbiemcgee]

kittens over hoyas, good for our sos I guess, wake beat dokies.

[BBC 08]

Coach just said CJ was sick today. Regardless he still had 10 points and 5 boards against UNCC. Insert your own dayton joke here about being sick.

[MADXSTER]

CJ had some great passes tonight.

Drives to the basket and tosses it out for a trey.

6 for 6 at the line.

[MFurey]

Did the coach say anything of interest post game? I missed it.

[MADXSTER]

I missed it also.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Whats up with 0 boards for Kenny in 22mins?

[thefortyniner]

AWESOME pass from Holloway to Frease. Credit Holloway.

I'm pretty sure this was when I left the bar in complete and utter disgust.

That kid is nice though. Is he really only a freshman?

Damn. Look out, rest of A10.

Xavier won the following categories: score, ft,fg, 3 percentages, rebounding 48-28; paint pts 28-22, pts off TO, 15-10, 2d chance pts 15-2, fast brk pts 9-8, Bench pts 28-8. Never trailed.:D

[Blue Dog]

In his postgame remarks Sean got on Frease a bit for not rebounding, said he told him he was too good for that to be happening.

Talked a fair amount about how the team needs the Tas to give them the 'pop' that big time teams get from playing at home, and he hopes that happens on Saturday against UMass. Noted we only have 5 home games left. Didn't exactly call out the home crowd, thanked everyone who made it there last night, but I took that he was hoping for some more energy from the fans down the stretch.

This is so SAD. 5 games left. I'll bring the energy if the weather will let us in from out of town! I'm now depressed ... only 5 left. I need a drink! Where's my friend, bourbon?

At one time last night I looked up at the scoreboard and the score was 39-21 with 4 of our starters only having 2 points each. This team definitely has great depth and is very unselfish.

[Hooner49]

As a sadened Charlotte fan, I would like to thank the X student who brought this sign:

http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/0902/campus.superfans/images/xavier-fans.jpg

After Lutz's extension last season, a new coach in the next few years is doubtful. You guys are playing beautifully and I wish you luck in the post season.

[PMI]

Look at all the different colors in that student section. Sickening. Why can't X find a leader to come along and turn our student section all into the same color? I'm no history buff, but this sounds like it would be a flawless plan.
