Carter is 0-1 with 0 rebounds. Anyone would be at least someone who would get a rebound.
Every game it seems we get down 10+ early, and spend the rest of the game trying to catch up. Depressing.

A lot easier to shoot against mediocre competition vs athletic biggest guys flying at ya.Quote:

Carter isn’t even trying to do anything on the offensive end. It’s 4 on 5
Are we 1-9 from 3?Quote:

Time to rally the troops at halftime Travis! Glad that focus on defense is really paying off!
He was last year. His freshman year he shot 27%.Quote:

Because I felt like it. If you don't like it you can go suck eggs for all I care. I'll come on when I want, comment when I want and if you don't like it oh well. I don't need to rationalize anything with you or anyone else.Quote:

I feel bad for Carter. He is trying but he is not a Big East type player. He should not be out there.Quote:

Because this year doesn’t count. He’s lost nothing by playing, and has gained several minutes of experience. Considering how little they’ve been able to actually train or practice this year, it wouldn’t have gained him anything to have spent the season as a redshirt.Quote:

Not when you have a coach that isn’t willing to play the hot hand or at least focus on the guys that are the right match ups and sit the carters/kunkels of the world that don’t belong in a game like this.
Looking at the box score, free should not be leading the team in 3 point shot attempts....that’s unacceptable. Get your ass down low (I know Steele doesn’t want that but he’s clueless) where you are good and score.
We need a KyKy Tandy storybook bail out game to turn this game and season around.
This board is obsessed with Tandy...who cares who the seventh man is on a bad team, which is what this is. And we lose two of our only three scoring options at the end of the season, so can’t see how we are even the same level next year. Move on from Steele already. Let’s not let our Cronin stick around for years
I’d like to apologize to drudy. I went on a crusade about how based on percentages and shot allocation, Xavier actually shot the right amount of 3’s. Since that point, they have gone about 3-500.
This team sucks. Blame whoever you want but they just aren’t good.
"I'm not worried about the offense, we're gonna score points"
13-7 / 6-7. Just reiterating my prediction and demonstrating how damn smart(assed) I am.
They actually haven't been horrible in the last 2 games in their shot selection, but damn, you have to make some!!!Quote:

Makes zero sense to not try 4 guards and speed them up.
Remember when Xavier teams used to get to the FT line all the time?
We're all phoo phoo and finesse now - this isn't Xavier basketball.Quote:

Their white guy is more athletic than our white guy.

And he's got such a head of pretty boy hair.Quote:
