Shocking stats from the win against X

[Elonsmusk]

We had 15 offensive rebounds to Xaiver's 4

We win on a night where Kam and OMax score 12 points on 4 of 21 shooting.

We win on a night we go 5 of 22 from 3 point line.

Oso, the 50% FT shooter calmly sinks 2 FTs under 15 seconds left down 1.

And only 12-17 from the line - of course two of the makes came in serious crunch time.

And that's a couple of times Oso has been clutch from the FT line at the end of a game.

[Jockey]

X outshot us 53% -38%.

Looking at the stats, MU cannot win this game.

[GoFastAndWin]

Win Anyway.

[Elonsmusk]

We should add Souley Boum with two bone-headed turnovers in the last 25 seconds of the game...incredibly good fortune for us.

We forced 17 turnovers vs our 7 - that was the difference.

Turnovers will do that. X has 10 more than mu

He surly bombed at the end.

[jesmu84]

What were the turnover numbers in the first half?

[Herman Cain]

I agree with this analysis.

[Ozmosis]

What a grind, but without our "A" game we prevailed.  Thats why you play the full 40.  Can't believe some of the posters on here,,,,  80-40 Xavier someone said early.  And No Longer Warriors, just please go away.  You never have anything intelligent to offer.

[Jockey]

Yup. Especially late turnovers.

[Uncle Rico]

I agree with this analysis.

Xavier is freaking tough and really good. 

[Elonsmusk]

Yep, X with 10 more turnovers, AND 10 fewer Offensive Rebounds...and there you have it.  This game was the epitome of Shaka's culture and mission to "Win anyway." 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

What were the turnover numbers in the first half?

I think we had 5 TOs with 5-6 minutes left in the first half. Only 2 the rest of the way is outstanding.

[nyg]

Mitchell had 17 points, but also had six steals.  That is an overwhelming stat.

Boum is a great player with almost Allen Iverson speed, but Mitchell forced him into 7 turnovers. 

[connie]

Those are crazy numbers

[Scoop Snoop]

He surly bombed at the end.

He wasn't surley at all! He very politely scored a ton of points.

[#UnleashSean]

F**k em

[PGsHeroes32]

Winning this game by 1 might be a good thing.

X will stay a Q1 win.

Boat race em by 20 and they may get really knocked to the Q2 bubble

MU won a game they easily could have folded and lost. Serious kudos to the guys for getting the win. I don't care if they have their D game as long as they win. That was a great win for the program.

Yes.....even the few times we were up....didnt feel like it.
Up two.....boom down four.
Unbelievable win!

[BLWarrior91]

Xavier shot 70% from the field in the second half.  Yet we still found a way to win.  Amazing.
