9-2 in non con

1-7 in conference.

Even the gambling non conference vs conference splits suck.

Well, they're not turning it over 21 times today and Coach Mac will see to it that X doesn't get to the line 29 times.....couple that with the expected home cookin', we got a rock fight comin'. Their Achilles Heel is their bench. Go straight at Kalk/Kaluma early and often.

I do think the staff makes decent between game adjustments which is why I could see X winning this game in spite of recent contrary evidence. The shooting has to come back towards the mean a bit, and we can’t possibly be this horrendous in the paint. The team seems to play better up tempo and we have more depth, so hopefully they pick up the pace a bit so they stop overthinking everything.

Having Creighton turn the ball over 20+ times again would be an added bonus, but I wouldn't count on that repeating itself today.

Anyone know what is up with Edwards? Is he being redshirted with Tucker?

Per people that sit near the bench, Edwards has been wearing a boot lately. ANOTHER foot injury???
Possible medical redshirt???

3-7 in the last 10 games, 2-3 as the away team, 7-8 as the favorite, and 1-2 as the away favorite, haven't covered since December 8th against Butler. For that itself, I'm gonna say we cover today and pull out a tough road win. Is it because I drank numerous Blue Moons at lunch because that's the only way to tolerate Xavier basketball right now?? Probably. It's the hopium that kills us.
