Xavier game thread

[NavinRJohnson]

This group is a disaster if were trying to rebound.

Or defend.

[LloydMooresLegs]

I agree. This is pretty ridiculous.

same. Stuck with DePaul (and Homer on Sticher)

[PGsHeroes32]

Except that we don't score with him at point, other than that, yeah he looks great.

His entry passes are far superior to Derrick and we were scoring fine.

Did he tell Ox to miss a bunny? Juan to travel?

Or let their big guy get 4 offensive rebounds?

[Silkk the Shaka]

Post-game handshake? Back to the studio?? WTF???

What entry passes? Your wanting it to,be true, doesn't make it true.

[PGsHeroes32]

Or defend.

We are getting abused down low.

Steve and Juan should just get used to cheering.

Yep.  Suddenly the offense with Derrick in control didn't look too bad.

Is it the deal that if you want to add it you can click a button online, but if you want to cancel you have to call, be on hold for 20 minutes, refuse two offers for a lower rate, be told it's cancelled but it isn't, so call and repeat the process next month?  I've stopped adding premiums/packages for that reason...MLB.TV now lets you cancel anytime online, and now they get more money from me since I'll buy it knowing I can cancel as soon as the Brewers start sucking.

Only took 3 minutes to cancel.  Well worth it.  Though I could have gone without seeing the Xavier run...

[PGsHeroes32]

What entry passes?

Ox has got the ball multiple times. Guy is a little sluggish right now. Should be fine now.

beats Derrick dribbling into 3 guys and throwing it into corner to the invisible man.

Pretty poor officiating so far.  Calling lots of touch falls on our end and they are missing blatant pushes both on their end (them pushing us) and on our end (pushing the posts in the back with both hands).

[NavinRJohnson]

Ox has got the ball multiple times.

Yep, 15 feet from the basket, and then backed his way to a terrible shot. That is not an entry pass.

[PGsHeroes32]

Is there a roster spot available for Juan on the adaptive basketball team?

[MarsupialMadness]

Not good

[Markusquette]

Damn.  That Dawson three was halfway down.  Would have been huge.

[AlienWarrior]

Too bad the DePaul game is over. Now we can watch how awful we play.

It really seems like bad Gardner is back this game...poor defense and poor offense.

[PGsHeroes32]

Both his misses did that. We needed those, obviously. Havnt had FG in a while now.

[jesmu84]

Are people really still gonna chant for more Dawson minutes? He adds literally nothing more offensively than Derrick with worse D.

[PGsHeroes32]

lol I think that may have been a travel.


Good god. Is anyone going to play transition defense?

I think we have been burned on that with every possible combination on the floor.

[GooooMarquette]

Getting killed on the boards.  We miss Derrick there.

[Markusquette]

Well he's made a 3 and nearly two others.  Good looking shot in comparison.  I'm not going to chant for minutes but it's refreshing to see our point guard shooting from somewhere other than under the basket or from the free throw line.

[NavinRJohnson]

I find this team incredibly difficult to root for. With a couple of exceptions, I don't really like these guys.

gardner will rule!

Seriously, he has been vastly superior to Derrick this game and I haven't been a big bench Derrick guy.  His two missed threes were in and out.

He has passed the ball very well and does a much better job of getting the ball into the post.

[GooooMarquette]

Agreed.  Hopefully people start to see the value of Derrick's ballhandling, defense and boards.
