Really liked Odom's after a slow start. Only one point on offense.

I just kept shaking my head. The fat lady kept wanting to sing, but she had to hold on for extra seconds.Quote:

Well......it was a win.
Yeah those are some good numbers. Forced (maybe some not so forced) 21 turnovers, again made more FT's than the other team attempted which is always a great stat for us.Quote:

That being said you have to win these home games. We should defend our home court the rest of the way out, at least if we want a shot of being a top 3 team in the BE.
The scrappiness on defense in the 2nd half was a stark contrast to the first. I don't think it is a coincidence that the offense followed suit.
I am putting this here to make a simple point about Xavier now very definitely being in a big boy basketball conference: Northwestern went into East Lansing today and beat Michigan State 64–62.
ESPN really doesn't like Fox.
Go to the X game report on ESPN, and there's a little 17 second clip of Colby scoring in the paint.
And the voice over by the announcers on the play....is Joe Sunderman!
I’m not too happy with Fox myself right now, because locally they gave us the UGA championship celebration. So we went furniture shopping. Got some texts that still kept me on edge, despite not even being able to watch.Quote:

In all seriousness, it's been a while since Xavier forced over 20+ turnovers against the opposition. Lots of it was Creighton being way too impatient with some of their decisions and having no clue of court awareness. Creighton was lucky they hit a high percentage to lead for as long as they did given the disparity in TOs.
