Bluiett for 3. that is not good. he is shooting 28% on the year but is a great player

Xavier hasn't shot well from 3 for most of the year but got hot last game. Last thing we need is for them to get hot this game. If they go cold from 3 I don't see how they beat us w/ our advantage inside.

I'm so tired of teams coming in looking like Steph Curry against us.

Might be a little early to get out of the zone. Let someone else beat us first. We can sag on their hottest shooter. Their guards are too good off the dribble to man them up.

patient offense leads to a Motley dunk, nice dish from Al. 14-10 X

Macura 3 is off, but we are called for a foul on rebound

Beautiful screen n roll w/ Lindsey to Maston for the AND 1.

I'd like to see Lindsey get to the middle for a floater every now and then because it's usually wide open for him
Hambone

Xavier big avoids a steal from Jo and then collects and scores, jeez. 16-10

Maston and 1! nice screen and roll with Jake... FT no good, 16-12 X 12:30
