I love Fran Fraschilla.

And Fran loves you.

 

[Cardinal2001]

gotta grab some boards, they are dominating us there

 

[Cyched]

I'm going to be irritated if Nunge is the difference maker

 

[jsb]

Hunter definitely needs to get much stronger going to the hoop

I mean that isn't a surprise...he's a freshman in his 5th game.

 

[helechopper]

Nunge is a problem

 

[Clonehomer]

Trying too hard when driving it

Yes. The drive and dish was very effective on previous games. I'd like to see a bigger emphasis on ball movement again.

 

[CYDJ]

Need a nunge answer.

 

[helechopper]

Thank god Jones made the bunny this time

 

[MeowingCows]

Normally I say the keep trying to force inside, but this is not the game to be doing so. Nunge killing us there. Gotta have enough outside play to cover that up.

 

[cyclones500]

I'm curious to see how we close the first half -- whether able to withstand this run after having that lead.

 

[Baseline23]

Getting killed on the inside/rebounding. Xavier is good, but wow, this does not bode well.
Good test tonight, though, and teaching moments for Oz going forward.

 

[Die4Cy]

Maybe that'll get Brockington off the schnide.

 

[xboxfever]

Brockington is gonna be one of those guys that when he’s on, he’s terrific to watch, but when he’s off, he’s a team killer. He’s been forcing a lot of these shots.

 

[CYDJ]

Not folding yet. D is still looking good, X is a little hero ball now. That plays in our favor.

We were holding our own when Conditt was in. As usual with Geroge, he'll need to learn to avoid fouls for us to successful

 

[cyatheart]

Battling, but gotta get them off the offensive boards

 

[JP4CY]

@ChrisMWilliams is on the call. Please Chris, drop me a "I don't want no Scruggs" the next time the kid from X misses.

 

[clonedude]

Hunter hitting those 3’s almost gave him too much confidence…. now he’s driving and trying to do too much when nothing is there.

Exactly. Just keep banking in 3s

 

[ca4cy]

Man they just don't miss when they get to the paint
