(GAME TIME) @Xavier, Wed., Feb. 16, 6:30p, CBSSN

[Mean Gene]

Why doesn’t Coburn just take the little jumper there instead of trying to make the circus shot!!??

 

[espken]

We must lead the nation in turnovers in the last minute of each half.

 

[Spocky Ramone]

First half minimal summary

O

ABCE

 

[boo haarvey]

Anderson thoroughly outcoached at the end of the half as usual 

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Offense obviously better but the defense (or lack there of) is keeping Xavier in the game. Champ finding his range…. Hopefully. But Coburn driving the the basket on the last POSESSION? WHY?

 

[Knight]

Coach looked like he wanted to puke at the halftime interview.

 

[MakingPlays]

Anyone confidant that we're going to run a good play off this timeout?

No, LOL, I knew it would be a disaster.  

I have no idea why CMA keeps putting Wusu in these situations, he usually messes up.  Maybe he does well at practice on last second plays... but usually not in the game.  I would have put Posh in and let him create something at the rim. 

 

[RipDumaine 132]

Wusu has no court awareness..Drives with no plan with his baby steps or never knows when to start offense at end of game or half Next year he will back off the ball. 

 

[fordham96]

Bottom line is 45 points at the half on road is terrific.  That is great offense.

Need to tighten up D.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

Bullshit T on Mathis.  Refs can and do effect the outcome of games.

What was the reason to hang on the rim? Even if you think it was the wrong call, you can’t give the refs a reason to call it. I was yelling for him to get down and wasn’t at all surprised by the T.

No idea, he had a wide open mid range shot or could have drove went up strong and drawn the foul.

 

[RJGBOOTSY]

Shooting well. Half court defense well below average!!!

Reminds me of the plays called for Dunn.  Everybody stand around while Dunn goes one on five with five seconds left

Right, but wusu is a disaster in those spots? All he did was get one of our best shooters the ball in a spot to shoot.

Again in disbelief with all the Wusu negative comments. Not you, but it’s like 90% of this board ignores the good passes he makes on a regular basis. He’s had a handful tonight already.

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Soriano get very limited run tonight. Make X's two doofy bigs defend out on the perimeter and move around

Two doofy big men? You mean two smart high quality athletes, players the Johnnies would love to have. I wish Soriano Stanley and Niywe were as “doofy”

 

[Knight]

I also thought that the 2nd foul on Posh underneath was BS.

 

[espken]

Champ with a great “get on my back”15 point first half. Keep that same mentality in the second half.

 

[Spocky Ramone]

Question of the night on the half time show
Who’s going to have the most explosive run of the night?

 

[mm52]

We're up by 3 at half in a tough road environment, and there's more negativity on this thread than in warranted.  Lighten up. There's a lot to like about this half.

I suspect one of the posters is long known for negativity.
