Xavier vs. East Tennessee State Game Thread (December 16, 2017)

I think JP was banged up no? He was sitting at the end of the bench with the trainer.

That would explain things. Hope it's not serious.

Naji is a stud, though.

this is a great learning lesson. I really think X was reading their own press clippings There are too many bloggers, analysts, etc. Everybody has to chip in and hustle, JP has had good games with 2 points but this was not one, Q hit a big shot but I can remember him getting fouled more. This was a MUCH better opponent that were given credit for. X has always been the best team with no guaranteed NBA prospects(I can hardly remember Sumner playing at times) so there has to be no off days, if not in the box score then on the floor. I assume Scruggs was hurt from the end of the Colorado game. Underrated good game by O'Mara too.

That was an incredible game! The sky’s the limit now. No whining, no folding. They just dug in, got defensive stops and got the job done. Incredible.

Wow... just win, baby!

When I turned the game on we were down 55-41.

[X Factor]

Down 22 with 15 minutes left.

Orrrrrrr X just shot exceptionally horrible for the first 30 mins of this game.

Yes and Yes. There were calls in Live Chat to replace Q with JP, but JP was at the end of the bench and never came back. Then, of course, Q became everyone’s favorite player. Great win.

It was masterful how Mack killed the final seconds with fouls, since we had a few to give. WOW! What a win/steal. I feel bad for ETS, but the good guys win.
We cannot afford to lose to ETS, esp. at home. Thank you Tre for that last field goal. This game should be a good wake up call. Thank you Lord for the gift.

They shot horribly for 40 minutes, but hit some big shots. Still no excuse to get down 20+ points to ETSU. I think Mack would agree. Amazing comeback though and X showed a ton of heart to come back from 20 down and get the win.

Agree with you 100%. I just dont think it was X "reading their own press clippings."
