First half of Xavier game same old same old

[tednugentfan]

Woodbury, Basabe and Olaseni invisible on both ends of the floor. Other than Marble, everyone playing scared. Xavier getting every board and loose ball. If we were a bad shooting team, we would be tied, but we aren't that good. Hate to burst bubbles here, but I don't know too many NCAA teams that only have one guy capable of creating his own offense and 3 post players who can't score in the post. Unless some guys suck it up at half, this will be a 10+ point loss. Xavier too quick and athletic. Props to Marble for keeping this from being a wood shed blowout.

Looks eerily similar to last year's NIT final's game vs Baylor.

 

[tednugentfan]

Good point. It is very similar to the Baylor game. Men against boys athletically.

Thank God the second half was something different. Iowa doesn't win that game last year.

Who won the game.....

Why would anything else matter.....

In the end it goes down as a W......

 

[RocknRollface]

Lol, wasnt more athletic at all, just more agressive.

Iowa hadnt played any legit competition yet so they get a pass on the first half this time.

Here's a little tidbit: • Xavier has won seven straight games and eight out of its last nine games vs. teams from the Big Ten Conference since the 2006-07 season.....

Couple more for your pleasure:

• Xavier has made two NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearances in addition to three NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in the last 10 years.


• Xavier is one of only 14 schools to make at least seven NCAA Tournaments in the last eight years.

Basically Xavier is a tough team and has been for years.....

Appears that we have broken their streak of seven straight games against Big Ten teams......

Hooray for the Hawks.....

Sorry.My fault. Didn't get to see the first half. They started their comeback when I got home and sat down.

He isn't eating crow; can't post what he eats...anyway, he won't eat crow ever because Iowa needs more Harrison Barnes and athletic JUCO's.
