Watching the women now Tartamella's sweater ugly Louie's looked like GQ worthy

That sweater is nasty. Not in a good way. Looie would have been impressed.

I think we are getting there. Kadary needs to rebound for others. Zuby and RJ are two of the best offensive rebounders in the country and Scott can be on any given night. If Kadary joined them, it’s going to get real fun.

I don’t know if Kadary is ever gonna have a nose for the ball quite like the others do but I did think he looked a step quicker tonight than he has all year, best defense he has played all year too, i was encouraged by how he looked

 

[gregbodkin]

We just impose our will defensively , pound the offensive glass and play the game at our pace. But, there will be games where we will have to shoot better to win. So, it’s good we’re getting it out of our system now.

We are returning to "old school" bball. This will surprise a lot of teams.

 

[Marillac2]

I felt like we needed 3-5 sweeps and we now have 2 road wins with DePaul/SH/Butler/Gtown remaining.

It’s looking good. I think we can steal one at Marquette or UConn on the road too.

Where the hell is Knight and the Nova thread !!! We need multiple threads to talk on right now

Over the last two games, Richmond and Scott have given us what I thought they would be giving us all season.

He played harder and even made a couple foul shots. All you can ask I guess.

 

[jackfro]

I can’t believe how empty Xavier stands are for a game like this when they have a winning record. crazy.

Students on break and a lot of snow on the ground

 

[bamafan]

Scott 2 rebounds away from us having 3 players with double doubles. Out rebounded X 50-30 who would have thought a St. John’s team could out rebound an always tough X team by 20 especially on their home court. Great job by the whole team and coaching staff tonight.

He did it last year. Averaged 1.7 offensive rebounds per game, 12th in BE.

@lawmanfan I sleep like Leon.

 

[bamafan]

four of our next six at home and two road games are Hall & Georgetown; we are in excellent shape right now.

Time to make hay but Georgetown much better than most thought they would be this season. Great first half by them tonight on road against Marquette.

Agree but don’t sleep on Georgetown.

 

[gregbodkin]

Gtown giving it to the Golden Eagles right now. We better be ready for both!

 

[Redenbacher]

Great win and so good to see Richmond and Scott in particular put in those performances!

 

[MugCostanza]

Xavier went from 29th in the country in defensive rebounding % to 79th in that category after the game. Wow

 

[Marillac2]

He won’t be a cut through the lane and sky for the ball guy like RJ or Scott, but he is stronger than both with excellent hands and good instincts. More than one way to skin a cat *Marillac stares at next game on schedule while delivering that line*

 

[dk423]

I'm curious how Georgetown fares in second half. Still young and prone to make some boneheaded decisions. I think they're a year away from being a real contender in BE. But they're definitely well improved.

 

[paultzman]

Hold serve at home and continue getting a fair share of road games and we’ll be fine assuming key guys stay healthy. For once we have not dug a deep hole in our first five BE games and that could portend a very successful year.
