Ohio State Game Thread

i'll just start this off with some pre-game news: OSU's Justice Sueing (i mean, with a last name like that, how fitting is the first name???) will be OUT with an abdominal injury.

certainly helps the Muskies chances this evening.

Justice is a 6 points and 15 minutes 3.5 rebounds player. I'd rather not see E.J. or Zed which are the prime scorers. After those two everyone else that plays is a single-digit scorer.

Time for the crowd to be crazy from tip-off to the final horn.

first half X has played great defense!!! They really look good in the first half.

Great D in the first half. Not sure why a coach lets a player pick up a third foul so early.

D was excellent. Small mistake on the third foul. Can live with that if they keep rotating and closing out like tbmhey did.

osu hitting threes and X fighting back. Everyone seems to be contributing including the bench. Buckeye doing a lot of pushing... must be because the ugly man is on the sidelines. 6:12 to go and X with 6 point lead. Jack playing good second half

[muskieman]

Missed three which would have put X up by twelve but instead 5 point run by Meechie and now it is 3. Need a basket big time

[muskieman]

Paul seals it for X. He was a man down the last few minutes. Posterized the osu best player.

[Xavier2005]

a great game overall. Xavier did very very well. Down to a 2 point lead for X and win by 6 points. Great great game

[Jesseandrippers]

Classic X basketball. Good defense. Good free throw shooting. Controlled pace of the game. Lots of depth.
3 pt shooting was poor but that is also classic X basketball unfortunately.

Solid win Mr Mack. Lots of talent through 7-8 men.
