combo of Xavier being a great rebounding team, the zone, and some lucky bounces. also Gaston is just a beast.

X hits 1 of 2, but we turn it over.. ugh, Al

X misses a close one, BU ball < 9:00

Motley blocks a 3. I think Jake is called for a foul with 7:30 left, media timeout. BU up 57-52

X up 15 on the boards and we're shooting 4-10 from FT line. Can't believe we're winning this game. We've won in so many different ways this year. Love this team but if Lindsey is hurt that will be a huge blow.

Light clicks after the 10 min mark in the 2nd half every game. Time to step on their throat.

Not too aware of Sumner's stats with them, but he seems like a guy who would put up non impressive numbers in college and become a stud role player in the NBA.

Al misses a good look from 3 as clock winds down

X misses a quick 3, Ish fouled with no call (zzz)

timeout Drew, 5:50 remains. I like this timeout, settle us down and formulate an end game strategy here

GREAT timeout by Drew. Xavier is clamping down on defense the past two possessions.
