Game Thread: Xavier v Creighton University (1/15/2022)

[GIMMFD]

No cover sadly, those threes from Creighton at the end made it much closer than it should have been, but we get the win at home and that's all that matters. Ugly, but a win's a win.

Not a good start.
Some good. Some not so good.
Thought Creighton wasn’t supposed to be good with 3s this year - what a finish for them.
Looking like Zach may be back. Stay focused and determined young man.

Glad Steele finally figured out the correct Lineup.

nobody mentioned but for 5 min Dwon was almost in a box and 1 on Nemhard, denied him the ball and they had a lot of turnovers during that stretch. What a balanced attack and while we love Nate for his 3 and D he can get passive and Kunkel is mentally more equipped to make things happen.

I'm happy for Free, but that last dunk cost me a perfect score in the pick 'em.
Also happy we won!
Agree with MOR, lineup of Nunge and Free is a good thing.

Ha! He's allowed to coach against DePaul now. :)

Agree. Now he needs to PLAY IT more!

X with only 9 turnovers is impressive, and only 12 fouls is also good. 6 players in double figures. The first half gave me some anxious moments, but a strong second half brought home the WIN. Congratulations!

I smell a board meltdown if we don't pull this one out.

Damn. It was close wasn't it?

Yea also liked the Odom and Kunkel rotation of the back and forth defense for offense strategy.
