[Marshal Dillon]

Tide hot & cold starting 2nd half, too many turnovers. 36-28 Xavier, timeout.



 

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide can't throw it into the ocean right now. Xavier playing good, 13-0 run right now. 43-28 Xavier.

[2Stater]

They're Lt. Dan-ing right now. They ain't got no legs.

[Marshal Dillon]

Xavier is experienced Sweet 16 team with good size. Tide fouling way too much & can't hit outside shot.
51-32 Xavier.



 

[Marshal Dillon]

Xavier 15 assists, Tide 6.

We can see for sure it will take Coach a while to get us to where we can be competitive. RTR!

Preacher, they are still trying to find chemistry. That will take some time. Glaring weaknesses are FT and 3 point shooting, particularly on the road. They will only get better.

OH yes, I totally agree. I didn't think we would be much different this year than last, till CAJ has time to get his system really drilled in place. I think we have a good future ahead. RTR!

Defense & outside shooting are a very big need. The poor defense is resulting in all the fouls being called.
Xavier very physical team under the board. They had 52 rebounds, us 32.

I think when CAJ gets some of those top players in here like Kentucky does every year we will be successful in winning some games. RTR!

THE GOOD

Donta Hall, true freshman guard/forward, showed flashes of promise. He had 6 pts & 9 rebounds & lots of energy.

Overall, good energy but out-of-contol many times.


THE BAD

FG  17/54  31.5%
FT   6/10
The play of Obasohan & Arthur Edwards


THE UGLY

REBOUNDS-Tide 32  Xavier 52
Final Score 64-45
3 Pts  5/27  18.5%
Assists  6

Whew!    Long way to go....

Whew!    Long way to go....

Perfect description. There is so much to be done but practice sessions are limited. This is at least a 3 year year rebuilding effort, plus we must keep adding quality players. It's frustrating but I understand the problem.


 

[Jamos]

I know it looks and sounds bad but at least there is a ray of hope for better things to come. CAJ told us and now we just have to be a little patient. This is only the fourth game into the season and I think these tough games the team is now playing will only help them down the road more so than some easy wins.
