Am I the only one who hates when we open up a huge lead early on? It seems we get content and think we have it wrapped up, then get pasted the rest of the way.

Oh My!!!... Defense, Defense!!!... Dan

Anybody else ever have those "weak moments" in games like these where--just for a fleeting moment- you wish you went to a tiny Liberal arts school with no sports program to speak of?

Is it just me? I know my Doctor tells me that would have been good for me!

Burrell shouldn't touch the ball again!

[XU Rocks!]

Is it me, or do we seem more winded than they do? Seems the refs are favoring WVU a little bit right now too? That's not going to be any help!

[Xman95]

Do they have anything left? Judging by the lazy pass from Lavender, I don't think so. 4 minutes left but they look like a beaten team.

Drew has zero fouls. H e needs to get more aggressive, both offensively and defensively. A drive to the hole and a steal here and there could turn this game for us.

Stupid, stupid, stupid basketball. Hmmm...I'm not a 3-pt. shooter, I think it's a good idea to hoist up an NBA three early in the shot clock. Yep, that's winning basketball.

Seeing how the refs have been calling it tight on X I think the guys are tentative at both ends.

I know it won't matter much with so little time left, but I'd still like to see us get that 5th on Alexander, especially if this game goes to OT. But the refs love him and I doubt will call anything on him the rest of the way, even if he does commit one, unless it is just Blatant.
