Xavier - 2nd Game

[SJU85]

Great win. Wasn't the Vegas line 1? Funny how that works.

Not for those who bet the Johnnies!

A guy behind me was hoping they would put one second back on the clock and Obekpa would hit the first free throw and miss the second.

Kudos to D'lo and Chris to be able to finish the game with four fouls. Greene came through with a clutch three and with 2:22 remaining Jordan hit a bank shot to put us up by five. No doubt in my mind Obekpa has to be healthy and stay in the game, especially since he discourages any drives to the basket. What can you say about Sir Dom, obviously first team Big East.

This wasn't a win, it was an escape.

But the type of W that a good team pulls out somehow even when you can't shoot a free throw.

outrebounded 47-27.
Staggering stat.

But we outblocked them 10-1. Pointer just amazes me with his shot blocking ability

Obekpa blocked at least 2 shots on the way down. His wingspan is amazing.

And the johnnies almost doubled them in points in the paint. All those blocks and grit.

I was -1.5 but am happy to lose

Thanks! And what a class act.

The best thing I could say about the game other than the result is that I made the 10:21 with 4 minutes to spare.

Lavin the master spinner of the cliche in post game comments. Good win coach.

And of course they didn't call a foul on that play.

Very happy to see that D'Lo seems to be overcoming his injuries (or finding a way to play through them) and is getting his mojo back just in time for the push towards the NCAA's. There are a lot of tournament bound teams that will not want to tangle with us come March.

And he gets 4 days rest to pay back the Hoyas.

Alright, I am here in my seat. Good feeling......just saying.

how large is the crowd?

So far looks like a weak turn out. But it is early.

.
Empty

Considering the implications of this game on our season, we should have a better turn out.

Don't know what the recruit will think.

Have you ever seen the crowds at Euro games?

 

[salty dog]

Post game Lav seems very confident about his job

Do you think he is worried about fools in the peanut gallery?

 

[redstorm89]

Attendance: 6634

that's pathetic. should have played at carnesecca in that case. I hope the crowd will be good on saturday.

 

[prjohnnies]

Crowd will be excellent on Saturday IMO. I was at Xavier last year, when it was just as big of a game, and the crowd was just as small. They don't draw like even the Marquette's and Creighton's do for whatever reason.
