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

Acuil w/ 2 Big FT misses. Can't do that against a Top 10 team late in the 2nd half
Bears8375

Officials are just crooked man.
Hambone

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

Beautiful.

The crowd ended up filling in nicely. Been a while since it was this much fun in here.

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.
Bears8375
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Nope Lindsey is fine.
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
they called the foul on X! and Jake hit both.59-52 BU
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
deflection and a steal! Al is fouled on the way up, will shoot

1st good, 2nd good. BU 61-52 7:00

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

Great foul by ISH. Hope Sumner is OK.
Bears8375

Great foul there by Ish.
Hambone

Sumner again on a drive and Ish fouls him hard, he's in pain, but not hurt

Xavier player down.

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.

game wouldn't be close without some magical bounces, lol

1st FT is long, 2nd good. 61-53 BU 6:35

That wasn't even a foul. He turned his own ankle.
Hambone

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.
