I took IUPUI small +18.5. Just seems like a big number for this team, particularly with Q out.
Results 11 to 20 of 128

Wow. That’s a big number.

Cautionarily speaking, tonight concerns me. Its for real now....Coach only gets one chance to make a first impression. Will we take on the personality of a defense 1st team as advertised? Didn't see that in the exhibition but it was an exhibition. Hoping we can turn them over in bunches and score off them like we did Thursday. Need to limit their open looks from 3 and hold them under 70. On a side note, because Naji, Paul and Q (when healthy) are so aggressive slashing to the rim, I am expecting teams to TRY and draw a lot of charges on us. We'll see......Go X!!!

You can preach defense all you want, but if you don't have the personnel to play D, you get what you get. Look at last year, X ultimately had no "stopper". Originally Posted by Xuperman

Size, length and quickness along with exceptional basketball IQ make great defenders. Coach certainly has plenty of those players to work with! It's his job to get them mentally ready to go all out from start to finish.

I just wonder how many points Steven Thomas will have tonight?
(I hope of some of our long time posters will get this joke.)

Snipe and Kahns...it's safe to come out now.
...he went up late, and I was already up there.
