St Louis @ Xavier: The Last A10 Home Game?

[muskienick]

And, it WAS the last A10 home game.

Bye bye Rams....all 3 of ya.

I'm hoping we won't be saying our last good-byes to the VCU Rams. They would make a great addition to the Big East of 2013-2014 and beyond!

After the win, Xavier can clinch the 4 seed in the A10 tournament with a win over Butler AND Temple loses to VCU AND UMass loses one more game (to either Butler or Richmond).

Definitely doable, but the Muskies will have to show up at Hinkle.

This win really made the UMass loss sting even more.

We are. They have the slimmest of slim chances to get in.

Don't want 'em.

[PMI]

Don't want 'em.

Out of curiosity, why? They sure have a hell of a lot more appeal than SLU, dayton, Richmond, or any of the other programs being rumored.

Still can't believe the stat lines of Taylor (19 pts, 19 rebounds) and Christon (20 pts, 7 reb, 7 assts).

Don't forget 6 blocks for Travis.

He is a friggin stud! However, he has to clean up his FTs. Not just him, but most of the team is setting records for poor FT shooting.

And this on a night when we shot 70% from the line.
If we shot 70% all year, we would have a few more wins in our pocket.

[bigdiggins]

57% in regulation. Then lights out in OT.

People say stupid things. All the time.

And I'm sure when we had several guys miss clutch free throws at the end of regulation you were thinking everything was great. Making free throws at crunch time shows mental toughness. Several players on this team have choked on the line numerous times in crunch time, costing X wins. It almost happened again last night. That shows a lack of mental toughness. And if you think the two players I'm thinking of on this team that don't show enough heart really do show heart, then you are seeing something both myself and Coach Mack aren't seeing. It's why one of those guys hasn't played at the end of the game the past few games and another one was forced to sit out an entire game due to a lack of focus and heart. Taylor played with heart. Brad Redford played with heart. Semaj made some great plays but some really awful plays and missed several clutch free throws that could have iced the game. You are certifiably crazy if you think this team can compare in talent, desire, heart, hustle, or basketball IQ to any of the previous seven X teams, which is all I was saying last night. I still support the team with my money for tickets and my desire to see them win, but I will call it as I see it. If you don't like it, I apologize.
