the commentators summed it up....getting out hustled and xavier is killing us on the offensive boards

We can't look brilliant every second of every game. We are just missing as lot of decent looks.

We need a gut check like this. This is good for us.

Time to dig down.

That's one way to spin it.

We're back to playing a team that can dribble.

I'm sure were the first ranked team to fall behind all year.

This proves were frauds on some level?

How many assists do we have going into half? Sure look to have abandoned our beautiful game in favor of the "gotta gets mine" game that we seem to prefer on national TV.

17 NBA scouts in the building. I wonder if that's a factor?

Well, they surely won't stick around for the 2nd half... which might help.

Hard to disagree.

When will you guys learn this guy is a troll and not really a fan of this team? You'd think everyone would know this by now. He has always been, and always will be, completely full of sh*t.

Have to agree. What happened to the "unselfish" passing game we developed? They're playing street ball again. Playing like this in our first ESPN game in ages against an 11-loss A10 team is a big reason we get no respect. I hope we can turn it around in the 2nd half but we seemed totally clueless the entire first half.

The stats guys *usually* only count assists when a shot is made. There was plenty of passing in that half. Unfortunately none of the shots went down.

You have to hit shots. We can't buy a basket.

They are watching Adonis watch everybody else play when he dosent have the ball. He is trying his best to learn how to rebound by watching Xaviers guys, more the point, his guy.

A lot of 1 pass trips in the 1st half.

And the commentatr said we were a final four team...he has no clue to what he said then

You must have forgot that one game where Adonis scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He has more than earned the right to stand and watch and still have plenty of minutes available.
