Game Thread: Xavier v. Jacksonville (November 5, 2019) Non-Conference

[xu82]

Is Schrand really going to play on this team? Is this real life?!?

I vaguely remember this from last year, but I'm glad Fox acquired NBC's old NBA music. Brings back good memories as they go to breaks.

I admit it, I had to look him up.

Very, very early - but I'm not liking the offensive flow. Or lack of flow.

Defense looks intense.

Scruggs can keep shooting however.

That inbounds play where Scruggs then hands it to Q in the corner should probably come out of the playbook.

Brick count - 49

Always looking to add a new building!

Can we be a top 25 team without a consistent 3 point threat?

A couple very quick 3’s from Q and Naji gave me flashbacks to the dark days of last season.

Yep.

John Tesh wrote and owns the song ("Roundball Rock"). I thought I remember reading he offered it to ABC or ESPN for NBA games, but they turned him down.

Offense still looks a bit rough, but the defense is nice.
