they have 2 very good players, this isn't a surprise to anyone that knows Xavier. Ashley told you all about Bluiett and Macura in his previews
I knew Bliuett was good. Had no idea about Macura.

Nice to see Manu finding his stroke.

Moving screen on Chuck at mid court and they make an amazing coast to coast layup. Gotta keep this within 3 or better before half. Get the crowd in it going into halftime.

Manu jumper in the paint no good. 34-31 X @ half

not bad considering they went 5-11 from 3 and out-rebounded us a whopping 26-16

BU out rebounded 26-16. Can't have that.

Xavier went cold - 37.5%

BU only has 3 TOs which is impressive since Xavier is good at turning over their opponent.

Don't know if already mentioned, but there was still a line of students all the way out to University Parks trying to get in with 3:00 until half. Incredible turnout.

Great play to start the half, but how could we lose Bluiett out of halftime.

OK that's great, but why can't they show up on time? and why is our system so poor for big crowds? bush league.

Stuart has been pretty good this game. I think it's only Big 12 teams he screws us against.

Manu changes our entire offense when he's hitting.

Horrible foul by Motley on the other end, lost his assignment.

Acuil not the best shot but Motley's arm was held on that offensive rebound. Bad no call there.

Sumner drives, we deflect it and it clearly goes off Sumner, but X keeps it... then they miss a 3, but Gaston grabs the rebound and he's fouled. 4th off rebound, will shoot 2

1st no good. 2nd no good
