Big East Game Thread: Pirates vs. Xavier

[The Crows Nest]

But they do. We've made everything so easy for them.

Have to admit…I’m not overly impressed with X.

This was a game for us to take…we just went back to our anemic offense…

 

[shu09]

A horrendous showing. Team thought they were good because they beat a team at home.

I don't think that's it at all. It's more that this is a game that feels like Xavier has to hold serve at home against a bottom half of the league team. Get right game for them, especially coming off a loss.

For Seton Hall, on the road in the Big East against a team that's better than its record would indicate, coming off a couple of flukey wins. Regression to the mean.

 

[IronKaz1]

so much for momentum, i was hoping these kids would have a snowball effect

 

[STLPirate12]

Gotta start hacking on every defensive possession since fouls don't aren't a thing this half. X figure it out a long time ago and we still haven't... that's the difference.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Wonder if this game is sold out. No idea! Announcers should tell us.

Maybe but X is going to be a bottom half of the league too. Just feels like one you need to have.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Dawes playing the point is just a recipe for disaster sadly

This one is done

 

[MTOleBlue]

This is bad. Xavier is quite bad... missed opportunity.

 

[Single Seat]

What a disappointment

 

[IronKaz1]

just walk off the court and leave already Olivari took a beat dump on us, no idea who he is but

 

[chickenbox]

VERY physical game and Xavier hitting threes. Got out of hand fast.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Blowout City, here we come. What an awful showing after a signature victory.

 

[schultz1825]

Oh, believe me I know. It was done when Sha thought he could steal an extra minute's rest for Sha taking Kadary out. Led to a 14-0 X run. It was over then.

 

[IronKaz1]

and our next 2 games are basically Losses damn who would have thought it would be UCONN

 

[MTOleBlue]

No idea who he is? Lol, he's their leading scorer

 

[Piratz]

Amazing how often we get obliterated from 3.

 

[HallGuy23]

Figures. Play our best game of the year and follow it with our worst.

 

[Gohall129]

That’s what Happens when you leave people wide open at this level

lol

 

[Piratz]

That’s what Happens when you leave people wide open at this level

And can’t shoot it yourself

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

That rejection on Davis was the turning point.

 

[TomD82]

they reverted back to the NBA 3 point shooting contest today, the opposite of what they did vs UCONN

Less is more when it comes to 3 point shooting for this team.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Dawes' decision making is soooo bad... jeez

 

[Jerry1992]

Very Bad shooting today. Poor performance. That’s on them. Got time before next game to make improvements and get some wins. I was expecting loss today but thought it would be more competitive. Positive: Davis played very well.

 

[HallBall7392]

This is embarrassing

 

[shu09]

Maybe but X is going to be a bottom half of the league too. Just feels like one you need to have.

At home, sure. Not when you're on the road.

 

[IronKaz1]

well lets hope we can be 2-3 after the 5 game mark

 

[MTOleBlue]

What a terrible showing lol

 

[Gohall129]

Dawes' decision making is soooo bad... jeez

Dawes passing today was so bad. Threw it to Bediakos knees multiple times

 

[IronKaz1]

nova beat CU without Moore so they will be wreckoning

 

[HallGuy23]

It’s crazy an entire team can stink at shooting so much

 

[TomD82]

That’s what Happens when you leave people wide open at this level

The perimeter defense of this team is just so stupid.

 

[IronKaz1]

Like Dan said some games Dawes will win us aka UCONN and many others will lose us aka 6-6 Xavier

 

[JTSHU]

FIrst half they took wild off balance shot time and again. Might as well count em as turnovers. 4 of 5 on the rosd wont be an easy start

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Just poorly coached game on the offensive end ..
Doesn't help talent isn’t where it needs to be. Xavier is exposing that today..

 

[MBF72]

U expect him to be happy and say what? Keep doing what ur doing?

How about.... guys, here is what we have to do.... using the clipboard. Miller and Shaka are masters of that.

 

[SPK145]

Have to admit…I’m not overly impressed with X.

Me neither. Not impressed with Seton Hall either though.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Dawes passing today was so bad. Threw it to Bediakos knees multiple times

Exactly. Multiple turnovers, dropped the ball, not playing defense... bad bad

 

[SOpirate]

Wipe the slate clean over the break and get right for Providence. Beat them in their building last year so they’re going to be ready.
