Game Thread: Xavier v Creighton University (1/29/2022)

[noteggs]

What a great half and great victory! Hope this gives the guys the confidence needed moving forward.

Also, what a weird game. The first one is obvious, but to shoot 52% from 3 and only 38% from 2 is very strange.

What a day first Xavier then Kentucky pounds Kansas at the Phog by 18 !!!!!!!!

I will sleep well tonight!

Did Cleveland State win?

[94GRAD]

Why is Xavier favored on the road vs Creighton ? Makes no sense. I would be shocked if Xavier won tonight not a good road team.

Glad you were shocked

This team blows. Good to see hunter take his heat check.
No they don't
Down early? Shocking. Rinse and repeat

Missing open and short shots do that

So let’s see x will be down around 8-10 at half..come out guns blazing in the second, not be able to get over the hump and lose by 5-6
Wrong
Make me eat the crow x

How does it taste

We have no offense.

Wrong

F this

Hope you stopped watching

this team sucks

Wrong

LOL!!! Steele has no clue.

Wrong

If this team was my dog, I think I’d put him down

Hopefully you're not a dog owner

We should consider an extended Covid break, just to keep this embarriasing slop off the tv

Why?

This is who we are - and it’s pathetic.

Wrong

I'm sorry I know I shouldn't be so hard on 18 - 22 yr. old kids so I won't. STEELE SUCKS.

X has only lost to ranked teams this year

This coach and this team are full of pussies.

Great assessment

Three years worth of the same garbage offensive schematics that we are still seeing now.
It’s not gonna change no matter who the personnel are. So easily defensed.
By the way. That missing layups thing? None of those are totally clean looks. None come from a cut after a good screen. They are all challenged. Poor scheme again.
Mix in inability to recognize matchups and bad sub patterns and we see what we see.
Steele stubbornly refuses to change.
Woe is us.

NONE of the close shots or 3's are wide open? Ridiculous

Steele is so awful. At this point just lose out so we don't have to go to the NIT with VD. I'm so excited about our new coach . I really hope it's Miller.

I never root for this team to lose

It’s time to start a who will be our coach next year poll.

Why?

Told my coworker this week, I thought we would finish 9-11 in conference and lose in the first round of the tourney again. We would not make the ncaa tourney again. Does anyone disagree with me at this point?

A lot of us

There are "haves" and "have nots" in the BE.

X guards Scruggs, Johnson, Kunkel and Odom do not have enough talent nor skill to make open shots, penetrate and score. Not good enough.


X big men: I believe Nunge is good enough to battle and score. Freemantle has the skill but he is simply awful this year.


Here is the good news.
All X has to do is win all remaining home games and lose every road game. That will leave X with a
10-9 BE record (no 2nd Georgetown game?)

X will probably be a 10-12 seed

You should be a scout for a living

No Xavier will not be a tournament team.

I'll be there for the NCAA tournament games, sucks you won't be

We’re not making the tourney.

Bet?

Here comes the run that x will make..probably get it down to about 2, maybe even tie it up and then will lose. Then we can have the moral victory conversation about how this team never gave up and fought.

How about X wins by 10?

This is where McDermott adjusts and they extend back to 14.

Odds we score 19 the rest of the game ?

I'll take the over

Nah. We’ll still go off the rails. I have faith in us.

I'd stop believing if I were you




All of this bullshit is why you should let the game/season play out before throwing shit at the team/coaches/program. All 5 losses are against ranked teams. All the advanced metrics point to a top 25 team. The glass is half full with the talent on the coaching staff and team! #LETSGOX

Is there any easy way to use the quote function? 94Grad post would take me 20 minutes, easy.

Man, you are Supreme...you started a hard copy roll call of the non-believers.

Let's keep it rolling, level and positive!!!!

In the recap of the game on the Score App, they note this:

His team down 17 points at halftime, Xavier coach Travis Steele walked into the locker room and posted a message on the grease board.
"Most overrated thing in sports is the halftime score,: he said he wrote. "Nobody remembers if you're winning at halftime. It's why you play 40 minutes."

Guess that was his "fiery" halftime speech.

Where is OTR? I love the nasty smell of TROLL during a celebratory WOODFORD!!

That wasn’t all he wrote, Paul. He wrote one other critical word as well.
