Game Thread: Xavier vs. Villanova (February 22, 2020) BE Conference Game

Nova shooting 6 for 25 from 3 point range today and with 4 minutes left X is down 16. Just not good enough. No energy today and really bad offense again.

Just mean that the margin gets much slimmer...now probably has to go 3-1...otherwise its 50-50 to get in most likely. Losing to nova in a vaccum is no big deal, it's the implications of it

I'm willing to bet they don't even need all three of those.

I'm with you. X's resume is uninspiring, but I really think it benefits greatly from nothing even close to a bad loss and a huge road marquee win. No one else on the bubble is going to be able to say that.

Scruggs has sucked bad

We almost never beat Nova. This makes X 2-14 in their last 16 games vs Nova. Really needed a win today now have to go back to fighting to get a bid.

Scruggs has lost his mind..Carter gave us nothing and he needs to play 20 with more energy..may have been outplayed at every position which is incredible because Robinson-Earl played as well as tyrique

This team is destined to smoke a 6 seed in the first round with Scruggs and Naji finally both having huge games and then lose 63-62 to a 3 seed after Naji dribbles it off his foot and Carter misses an uncontested layup at the buzzer.
