Our defense is a mess. Nunge playing again like he is six feet tall and gets no respect from reds. Jones is lost and Boum can’t guard a mailbox. Afraid we were over seeded

[muskieman]

Zack is being missed as smaller K st is outrebounding the taller Xavier sqad and Hunter is the only guy with offensive firepower and Cobly and Souley wake up

[Anti-Homer]

Who is struggling more? Boum and Kunkel on defense, or SM with the clipboard? He cannot be more obtuse with his defensive strategy yet again on D. They get into the lane at will, and X is plying bullfighting D. The game will be in the high 80s, and if X loses, SM will lament the D, but does nothing to change their rhythm. Obtuse, I says, obtuse. He obviously did not learn anything from Smart, whose dizzying array of defense confused X into oblivion.

Kennesaw looks more athletic than X and certainly more active. Did the muskies think this would be an easy win?

embarrassing first half. Sean will destroy another locker room. They didn't even defend that pass before the long heave to end half

[XavierBob]

Guys, no way around it don’t want to hear this that or the other, total embarrassment of a first half. Zero offensive rebounds, unforced errors, no defense at all. Win or lose this is just bad. Hoping for a turnaround but not expecting it.

God awful first half. Nunge and Boum were terrible again in the first half. Soft defense, no energy , little ball movement. The other team has confidence now. Turnovers , very little hustle, missed foul shots. Need to get Jones going and keep going to the Basket. Nunge was very soft. This is our third poor game out of the last four. The team looks very tired.

What a brilliant move by Kenn's St to go to a 1-3-1 and trap. Sean is completely befuddled - yet again. I blame Mman. He played a practical joke on SM before the year started and told SM the NCAA mandated that X exclusively is prohibited from changing defenses.

Also, X's post players are four inches taller than any of Kenn's State's defenders, yet no high-low. The only thing Miller hasn't screwed up today is going to the right bench. Like we often said during Steele's tenure, X can only win in spite of Miller if they do. The only bright side is the over at 152 is going to be decimated.

Commitee knew what they were doing. Over seed X to get slain by a BETTER 14 seed. Genius move to start the Friday action.
