Xavier Game Thread

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Been a good season. Just not a sustainable business model when the other team is consistently getting better looks than we are. We've won in spite of it a lot this year, but when we're needing to make contested fade-aways and they're getting layups... well.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Matter of time before running into a team that doesn’t miss umpteen uncontested shots

 

[Chescat]

Miller has his team ready
against the hedge. They
know how to handle it.

 

[NCLee]

Getting outcoached, outworked on the hedges. They are just attacking the hedge because we are too far out and too late getting back and not rotating fast enough! We will not make adjustments so we will have to eat this! And Xavier is making their open shots.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Too much bullshit at times during these games. We know Sean Miller is from Pittsburgh we get it. I don’t wanna see old film of him playing or on Johnny Carson while Hinson makes a big 3 in the game and it’s not shown.

I have no problem with showing the clip. But show the clip during the timeout, not during play.

Of course that might mean showing fewer commercials, and we know that isn't happening.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Nelly needs to get it together today

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Yeah that clip might have been the last three we make

HEDGE! C'mon they
know how to handle it.

Looks like the end of the road today.

 

[West Coast Panther]

Xavier currently shooting 57.7% overall and 57.1% threes. hard to compete when shooting is that good

 

[ECUPittfan]

Man the hell up

 

[ECUPittfan]

Defense is absolutely non existent

 

[pittbb80]

Not giving up in these guys yet.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Cummings having a tough game.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

We need to get it within 10 by the half.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Cummings having a tough game.

Burton too

 

[pittbb80]

Damn Nellie is stone cold

 

[pittbb80]

I think the panthers have a run in them.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Burton too

He was a big fizzle in this tournament, unfortunately

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Maybe Nike will have to be the guard to get it done from outside. No one else is.

 

[Sam Young 23]

Nelly really hurting us

 

[Phillypanther2]

I guess it could be worse.
Not a good deal when you’re playing a higher seed, you’re shooting poorly, and playing bad defense 🤷🏽‍♀️

 

[ThePanthers]

Cummings can't buy a bucket.

 

[mike 301]

I think i'd rather be subject to BoJangles ads .. My Goodness ..

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Pitt can’t afford to miss good looks . Nelly struggling.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Maybe Lily could order a Mellow Mushroom?

 

[lostnite66]

nothing dropping

 

[Ranson1989]

this one is over, it was a great season though.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Burton needs to stop trying to do everything himself on possessions. It isn’t working

 

[ECUPittfan]

Someone might want to cover that guy

 

[HailToPitt1985]

Poor defense all around for Pitt. Xavier will get this well into the 80s if we don't wake up. This is how you lose games in the NCAAT,...play crappy defense.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Cummings can't buy a bucket.

0-6

 

[pittbb80]

How was that not a foul.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Why is Nunge in the ref huddle?

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Ok at least we are finishing the half better

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

17 assists on 19 FGs for Xavier. A true team. This sucks. Let’s turn it around at half

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Instead of Hinson being careful they better take him out of the game on the timeout.

 

[pittbb80]

Good stop. Panthers are still in it.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

Xavier is playing great. We'd have to find some defense in the second half and score 50+ in the second half while Xavier cools off considerably for us to have a chance in this one.

Good news is they can’t play any better and the panthers are a second half team. it ain’t over yet
