FoundationEagle 637 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Games over. Xavier is too good and refs won't let us do anything to get in a rythym. There was a clear technical foul for hanging on the rim not called. Gonna be lucky to cover by the time we wear out with Harris out. Lick our wounds and get better for the next one. On the bright side Spencer will be getting some much needed pt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason AU can't get in a rythmn is because they aren't running an offense, only have one scorer on the floor, and are clearly worn out.

jared52 4,354 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 It's fun to watch a good team work. Lots of good chemistry on the floor up and down the roster for Xavier. They do some many things well and can beat you a lot of ways. On the flip side, it's certainly eye opening to see the depth of poor play by AU basketball. Not even in the same zip code with teams like this yet. I hope folks give Bruce the time needed for AU to get better. It's going to take 2-3 years before AU can get the depth, talent, and experience they need to make the tournament. AU isn't a year away, I just hope folks see that in games like these.

mustache eagle 2,398 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 We could play better but Xavier is simply a better team. Gotta hand it to them. Also ... Our guys are still playing and that is a positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 We have been out hustled by this Xavier team. They go after every loose ball and sense when a player gets lazy and go for the steal or take away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams as good as Xavier make teams like AU look worse than they are. AU is a .500 SEC team. That means good teams will exploit them and dominate. That's all that happened today.

I know they are 5-4 but they are close to .500 and I expect them to leave Hawaii .500 overall. I don't know how they will do in the SEC but seeing the records so far, AU is squarely in the middle of the SEC West. Clearly better than last year, but also with a long way to go. It's not a slight. I still like watching this team play against teams they can compete with since they are playing a better brand of basketball. They just can't compete with any of the NCAA tournament teams at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in the season, Xavier has been looking pretty elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
