Well we hung in there until about the last 8 minutes and than we ran out of steam. Pop's played great and helped us hang in there. How many teams starting guards don't want any part of handling the ball when the other team presses? How many teams leading rebounder doesn't line up under the basket on foul shots? We needed more from Anderson. Tough break losing Carroll on senior's night

Richard said without Trey, they had to go small with 4 guards, which is why they were outrebounded. Richard, Seton Hall plays four guards, and they are about the same size as the four guards you played

But hey, Travis is 30-0 Congrats Travis
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

We watched this same game over and over. Jovan played like garbage and couldn’t hit a shot same with Roddie. Not sure why Richard stopped playing Pape since no one wanted to rebound. Filip is a nice complimentary player but just not clutch. I think we missed 13/14 fgs towards the end? Pitino does not even call plays out of timeouts. This was a bad season especially on the effort side.

In the Georgetown game, he played offense defense in the final minutes today he did not even though Pops was playing the best game he in his career.Inexplicable!

Having Jovan as your sole big in second half was silly, since he doesn’t rebound or box out. Philip was tired, but not having Pape in there more was a mistake. So much for Pitino being a defensive coach. Tre would have helped down the stretch, but this roster needs an overhaul again. Our guards are soft too

Jovan is playing out of position, but why not play him with Pape and Robinson and let him play forward? I started watching how our players go to or, in many cases, do not go to the rim, and rebound. Too often, players watch the ball instead of going to the rim and rebounding. At the 10:33 mark the game was tied at 60 after SH scored 2 points but over the next 10;33 minutes X scored 8 points and SH 17, not counting the 2 points to tie.
The following are all the plays of X over the last 10 minutes...do you see the problem?
at 10:16 Jovan Milicevic misses a layup
at 9:52 Jovan Milicevic misses 14-foot pullup jump shot
9:15 Filip Borovicanin misses 9-foot floating jump shot
8:42 Jovan Milicevic misses 25-foot three point jumper
8:33 All Wright misses driving layup
7:55 Malik Messina-Moore bad pass turnover
7:47 Xavier Timeout
7:18 -Malik Messina-Moore makes 18-foot turnaround jump shot
6:41 Isaiah Walker misses 22-foot three point jumper
5:45 - Malik Messina-Moore misses 23-foot three point jumper
5:30 - Foul on Filip Borovicanin. Xavier Musketeers Turnover

4:29 -Malik Messina-Moore misses 11-foot floating jump shot
4:27 - Pape N'Diaye misses tip in layup
3:27 - Jovan Milicevic misses 25-foot three point jumper

They came out on fire the first 5 minutes of the second half then fell apart.I was pleasantly surprised they kept it close without Tre. If he's out our season will end next Wednesday . Bring on the portal!
