At least this team is used to coming back but Xavier is on fire from 3.

Maston w/ his very reliable elbow jumper to cut it to 7.

Jo deflects a shot, then we drive it down and Manu with a behind-the-back pass but Ish can't finish on the circus reverse layup, so close to SCtop 10 stuff there...

Xavier misses a 3, but gets rebound and scores. 25-23 X

charge on Al, sigh. 6:00

It's like our team doesn't wake up until we're down 8 or 10 pts then we turn into the #1 team in the country.

Manu takes a wild 3 and airballs it - W.T.F was that?

Manu had no reason to shoot that 3, the pass was off and he didn't have it in good rhythm... cost us bigtime too as Bluiett makes all 3. 28-23 X 5:20

X sells those fouls and covers their hand checking/holding well.
