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.

6-10 in first 10 shots made 3 more to go 9-27. Where is our offense.

Pretty tough to watch. Nova went on a 26-9 run to close out the half. Twenty four points in a half at home will not get it done. Not much effort or heart. Doesn't look like a Xavier team.

Ryan is red hot, but now he has four fouls and has to sit. Hey Ryan, we need you in the game, not on the bench.

Conwell was on fire, A couple of careless fouls. Got to get Freemantle going. The crowd is way to quite.

X players need to follow their shots...looking at Maddox and Hunter who both shot threes and could have had the rebounds but never followed

Re: Villanova Game Thread
Ryan Conwell, with 4 fouls, is a Nova killer, with 34 points, and X held 25.6 average and 25th year senior Dixon to 18, and he didn't score in the last 10 minutes, I believe
The next six games are going to be rugged, but they will tell us if X makes the tourney. Need to win more than lose

Man did we need that. Conwell got half our points. LOL . Nice to see us finish out a game. I think Conwell had 29 points in the second half while picking up his 4th foul with 10 minutes to go. What a game for Conwell. Go X
