With how hard our guys play I'm not sure I feel great about sitting on our timeouts. It's nice to have them in our back pocket but Xavier made up their ground mostly with effort plays.

Maybe build a bridge and keep the game broken up when we have a lead on a tough team like this? Too late now. I have faith TJ knows what he's doing.

Come out if a timeout and have to chuck it...not impressive

Xavier had our number the last part of the half, but hard to be upset with that half.

Get Conditt back in and out of trouble, have Hunter stop forcing it, and keep Brockington doing his thing.

Good defensive possession to end the half.

X has more talent but I like our effort. We've got to start clearing the defensive glass if we're going to have a chance.

Good first half.

I believe ISU will still be in this at the 4:00 mark. I just don't know who they turn to when they need a bucket in those situations yet.

Any of us would have taken this score heading into the half. The real decider is going to be our defense on the dribble drive. Once Xavier started taking it to the hole our defense broke down. Found a weakness in the defense, so let's see how Otz and crew adjust to it.

We look like we belong and Xavier is playing well. Tons of positives to take. We didn’t even play flawlessly - we just belong.
