    Good question about Anthony Hicks. He was a terrific player who changed the trajectory of Xavier basketball under Staak’s guidance. One of Xavier’s best players ever.

    First half was disappointing. No energy and sloppy but Ousmane did show some nice shots and Nzeh hustled. Second half showed more of the same as it started. I continued to think why did Xavier even...

    Whether it is playing worse or just not improving, this Xavier team has little margin for error. The lack of an inside game has been a problem that has festered all year. No one stepped up to fill...

    Have to agree. Marquette is good but not impressive today. Xavier is playing so sloppy now.

    Puzzling that Xavier came out with no intensity in a “must win” situation. The 10 first half turnovers and two points in the first eight minutes; seemed like absolutely no one came ready to play. I...

    Perhaps but I turned it off. May “watch” second via comments on this board. Easier on the eyes.

    Agreed that Claude shouldn’t shoot threes especially when he so good around the basket. Final seconds Xavier defense was excellent but Nova’s failure to even get an attempted shot off was baffling. I...

    Referring to one, Steve Thomas. 30 ppg. season. Injury and career over. I was only a kid watching but he was a very special player.

    DePaul isn’t very good competition but good showing. Liked Lazar’s three but not certain that is the best place for him. Like Claude playing near the basket as his outside shot is MIA.

    Olivari and McKnight are playing well; fun to watch.

    The black hole that knows how to spend our money better than we do. If Congress cannot account for our own government’s spending, how can we expect global entities to be scrupulous? As I recall, an...

    Agreed. Two years ago, Xavier’s winning the NIT energized the Musketeers and afforded them an opportunity to play some exciting games against good competition.

    Nothing earth shattering to add; just an observation. Lose by 6 at home and 43 on the road. Latter an aberration? Most likely as UCONN was lights out. Xavier DOA. Even if Xavier wasn’t DOA yesterday,...

    Give UCONN credit but not sure why Xavier looks like they don’t belong on the same court. They're clearly better than what has been displayed today but being this flat is inexplicable.

    Understand that they are college kids; and UCONN’s defense is relentless but the lack of intensity is a problem.

    Agreed but the Hoyas played an outstanding game at Cintas. Probably as complete a game anyone has played there. Hitting on all cylinders for an entire game, while rare, can make a mediocre team look...

    FWIW: Never thought X was out of it even with the less than stellar play from our bigs. Claude’s first half performance was excellent but everyone knew others would need to step up. Olivari and...

    All very true. Tremendous game. Georgetown played a great game. The early barrage of three pointers and the 95% free throws. The Hoyas, to their credit, never let up but fortunately X came back....

    Attended game; solid win despite losing 19 point lead. Guard play was excellent. Hoped for more from Euros but Gytis put up good numbers and he was tough at the end. Bodes well for the future.

    Absolutely! Impressive comeback from eleven down in first half. This team has capabilities. One hopes that the confidence continues to build. There was a lot to like in this game.
