Xavier game thread

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Marshall in a lot of pain.

[JWags85]

If you want the green light Bailey you have to hit that corner 3

Bailey's best games come when he hits some mid range to get going. Starting gunning 3s have never sparked him

[TallTitan34]

Holy cow Markus. With a hand in his face.

[TallTitan34]

Let's get Theo back for the second half and kick some ass.

Though shout out to Heldt keeping us in the game. Great job in the first half.

[JWags85]

Markus is the runaway leader for POY in the BE and the refs treat him like he's an unknown freshman. No respect ever. Green light to mug him

[PGsHeroes32]

Heldt held his own nicely.

Now we need Theo for a full half. Let's get this

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

All things considered, I'll certainly take that.

[brewcity77]

Somehow tied despite abysmal defense and whistles. As long as Theo doesn't get any more Fezzik Fouls, we'll be okay.

[Lighthouse 84]

Markus and Sammy both getting mugged.

Get Theo back, X slows down their shooting and we got this.

[Daniel]

Tied at half I'm ok with that with Theo out.  Heldt did do a very good job keeping us in game.  And Xavier cannot hit that many threes in second half.  How many did they get in first Half? 4 or 5! 

[Cheeks]

Where are the fouls

[WarriorDad]

Tied at half after the foul trouble, feels like a win

[DUNKS45]

We played much better D late. Good job by Matt. Only 9 total fouls called.

[willie warrior]

Wow great take by Toony

That was a good move by him, and he was fouled on the move. These refs honk.

[BCHoopster]

Matt gives MU more size, Morrow is a small center, good coaching by Wojo to use Matt against Jones. Not sure what Theo would do differently, it seems he puts his hands up and their player jobs close to Theo, foul on Theo, ridiculous

[nyg]

Jones killing MU without Theo.  Has has 11 points and 8 rebounds, almost a double double already.  Heldt did ok job, but not level on talent.

Scruggs was doing great with Sacar on him, in comes Bailey who did excellent defense on him. 

Probably no Marshal in second half, big loss for them.  He was on Markus first 17 minutes. 

[willie warrior]

Let's get Theo back for the second half and kick some ass.

Though shout out to Heldt keeping us in the game. Great job in the first half.

We are a much lesser team without Theo in the middle. Thank you ass clown refs.

[forgetful]

Lately it seems like officials refuse to call any fouls against our opponent in the first half, and then call it evenly in the 2nd half.

Hoping that repeats itself.

[willie warrior]

Somehow tied despite abysmal defense and whistles. As long as Theo doesn't get any more Fezzik Fouls, we'll be okay.

Guarantee these homer refs will call Theo fouls if he so much as looks at a guy.

[cheebs09]

They are trying hard to make this Brother-in-Law Defense a thing.

So true

[MarquetteDano]

Don't disagree but that is why I love college bball... NBA top players get every call.

[NickelDimer]

Markus actually attacks the right way; he drives trying to avoid contact and when he gets contacted he doesn't get calls. Most guys drive to initiate contact and when contacted they get the calls. It's total bs

[mileskishnish72]

A LOT of contact on the X defensive end, and two tixcky-tacky fouls on Theo. Matt's foul looked like  a phantom as well. A few easy baskets, but decent D overall. Nice layup by Joseph, and give the old man a pat on the back - good minutes from Matty.

If there is a level playing field re: fouls, we got this.
