Game Thread: Xavier vs. DePaul (12/29/2018)

For everyone who relesntlessly posted that they’re fine with whatever the results may be so long as they see effort and grit out of the team, your time to shine may be a few minutes away...

We can’t finish.

We shall see very shortly.

Had De-freaking Paul on the ropes with their best player on the bench for the under 8 minute war and we’re down 7 during this stretch.

This team ain’t winning 9 conference games

Leitao sat Strus wayyyyyy too long there. Not surprising considering he’s a horrendous coach.

[MITTENMUSKIE16]

Not exactly surrounded by the Warriors out there...

So your solution for Q is to just keep chucking and shoot 23% from three the rest of the year? He has 3 better options: drive and dish when help comes, drive and get fouled, or drive and kick for a different shooter, either Paul or welly.

Did NOT see this run coming!

Btw, if you want to see someone actually shooting their team out of the game, Devin Gage is a good example. He sucks and has taken multiple long 2’s.

Q takes another shot, kills momentum.

I 100% believe Q should continue to have the green light on rhythm 3’s. He’s taken a few questionable ones today for sure. Those options don’t exist if you don’t trigger the open rhythm jumpers.

There’s middle ground between he needs to be a bit more picky and “never shoot again.” Q takes way too much heat on here - he’s clearly X’s Most important player IMO.

Nice little run put to an end by another dumb choice by Q
