Koby doing the mamba mentality

[tower912]

     
1.  Koby wanted to be the man.   He has been the man before elsewhere.   He was clutch against Butler, but it got lost because of the loss.   Clutch tonight. 
2.  It took a while for Sacar to realize it was up to him.   But he finally embraced it in overtime. 
3.  Xavier going to a big line up, searching for mismatches, and crashing the boards.  They sought contact all night.   
4.  I sincerely hope there is no argument as to whether Markus got hit in the face this time.   
5.  Throwing the ball to Theo in the post was not a good offensive play tonight.   Should Jayce have played more?
6.  Greg, you are missed.   And needed.  To give the guys a breather if nothing else.
7.  Cain and Bailey playing together plenty, but neither one a factor tonight.   
8.  Symir getting run, didn't hurt himself, other than one shot, didn't really make much happen.  I think he was supposed to foul up 3 at the end of regulation.     Wojo won't throw him under the bus.
9.  Goodin went full Jean Felix.   Insane.   2-28 from 3 coming into tonight.   
10.  I sense another calm, reasoned discussion about fouling up 3.   Tried to at the end of second OT and it wasn't called.     
11.   Ball don't lie on that flagrant call on Anim.   
12.  MU played solid defense all night.   X lived on the offensive boards. 
13.  Free throws matta'd.    Symir, Jamal, awesome. 
14.  Apparently, this team has heart.    And the question has now been answered as to who else will step up.   
15.  If anybody says "It was only Xavier", they are a complete moron.      Grab the conference road win and run like hell.

Great W. Still salty about the blatant elbow to Markus's face. Announcers were thrilled to state that calls were "shaky" against X but that no-call vs Markus was big. Clocked him clean in the face.

[JWags85]

Theo played a great defensive game without a lot of fouling. Weak hands at time, but he was tough down low defensively

[Herman Cain]

Wow what a finish

Team played well together  after Markus was hurt.

Great interview with Sacar after the game.

[PGsHeroes32]

I'll give it to Koby. Don't pull that out without him. Sacar obviously as well.

Im on Koby all the time when hes awful, but he deserves praise there.

Wojo still needs to know when hes got it and when he doesnt.

Need Markus back ASAP.

[CountryRoads]

Love Markus and this team...but damn these guys would have been pretty good with the Hauser brothers lol

How can Sacar’s foul be a flagrant and not the one on Markus? Neither were intentional.  Markus’ was clearly more forceful

[GoldenWarrior11]

Koby went full Kobe. Incredible.

4.  I sincerely hope there is no argument as to whether Markus got hit in the face got hit in the face this time.   

Well there shouldn't be an argument in either since he wasn't hit in the butler game.

[nyg]

Refs are refs, almost every game complaints.  Each team had some bad ones.

X was 11 for 25 at free throw line.  Ballgame. 

Good win for players, the looks on their faces at end of regulation was one of despair.

Why is symir playing off ball? Before Bailey went out

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

That technical on Sacar was so bad.

What a grind it out win.

[Afroman]

Gutty win. That one was a roller coaster ride. Hope Markus is OK.

Can we hypnotize Koby that the entire game is the last 2 min?

I'm guessing it's because Sacar reached in a little which led to the contact. On Markus'   shot to the face, the X guy was basically stationary and in position for the rebound. I think they should both be no calls, and the fact that Sacars was called a flagrant was awful, though.

I will pick that hill to die on.

My wife has determined Kobe is amazing as last minute Kobe.

Looked like the ball made as much contact with scruggs' face. Got to see a great show dousing his terribly injured eye with water.

[MUBurrow]

Not the most memorable play, but heck of a job by Koby to stick with that cutter at the end of the game.  Not sure if he would have had time to catch that pass and lay it in, but it would have been really easy to watch ball or lunge assuming the ballhandler was going to shoot.

Haha I won't know for sure unless I watch it on DVR vs. youtube

[The Lens]

Anne Zizzo loves conference road wins, because...THEY. ARE. GOLD.

Short bench, no All American, tough venue.  Take it and run.  Great win.

[NCMUFan]

Great win by the team.  I hope Markus is ok.  Hard hit to the face. 
In my humble opinion, team plays best when all five players are active on offense.

Cain was a factor - grabbed some huge rebounds (led team with 8) and had the two big free throws in OT.

[IrwinFletcher]

Jamal with 9 rebounds and 2 clutch FT's at the end after not even putting up a shot all game.

Have you seen my post on it?
