Game Thread: Xavier v. University of Cincinnati (December 8, 2018) Crosstown Shootout

[xu82]

I had high hopes, but low expectations for today.

Who thinks Mick won’t run it up if he can?

[Xville]

This xavier team is just not very good. For those saying we have quite a bit of talent, I dont see it. We have scruggs, Jones, naji and that's about it. Q is ok but the rest of the team is not big east talent and wouldn't be on the team had mack not struck out so bad last year.

Hankins thinks he's still playing against 6'6 DII centers.

We don't look so good.

[KFX]

This team has no fight or heart and that is something that is very disappointing in a new coach. You can’t control the talent level but damn this team plays timid and with zero fight. Steele needs to look in the mirror.

Well, depends if you enjoy shitty or not.

Naji was a Top 50 recruit, Scruggs was a Top 50 recruit, Goodin was Top 100, Jones was Top 100.

Yeah and they are all young with a 1st year coach. They have nothing now... But in 2 years it will grow into something special. That is why I said compete for a 1 seed in 2 years.

I wish we played tough defense like UC...I just threw up.

[X Factor]

Now we're gonna hear the players talk about how they just weren't tough today, didn't play hard enough, etc.

[noteggs]

Simple. You play UC and you need to hit outside shots. Something we can’t do right now. Still think we have good talent
