Ed's quotes tell me he thought the opportunity was there, and we hissed it away by making mistakes.
He's right. How the hell do you shoot 65% in a half, only scoring 37 points? We should have been in the 50's at that rate. Terrible mistakes.

You can say that Xavier has more talent than us, and they do. But you can't tell me that a veteran team like ours, with all the game time experience that our starting 5 has, should be making the kind of mistakes that we made last night 30 games into the season.

Not much to say about the start of this game...turnovers, missed rebounds, fumbling and bumbling, lots of missed shots. And of course when they can't score they don't play defense either... Lindsey has shot terrible since his concussion against Gtown... And the drought is at the start of the game....get it over early....and the game I think Jalen should come off bench next two games. He's providing literally nothing offensively. His last 4 games he's averaging 3.5ppg on a combined 5-22 from the field (about 22%) MAL needs to be inserted That being said I don't expect Cooley to not start Jalen on senior night but if he doesn't show up again then we know MAL should be penciled in for the BET

Seniors are limited, Bullock is a very good player just not the smartest basketball player. I think next year we will have a more well oiled cohesive unit despite losing Cartwright......honestly

So replace our best shooter with our worst? That's an interesting theory they way we shoot the rock. I can have a conversation about Jax and maybe even White. I'd still play Edwards over Mal and I think he played before Mal the last 2 games. Mal 2017-18 ain't the answer unless he learns to shoot this weekend.

Creating offense for Mal is currently dribbling into traffic and throwing up a circus shot. More than normal went through the hoop last night. Good for him. Plenty still get spiked. Now if he could get to where he's been getting and pass it off for a layup, we'd be onto something. Hasn't happened yet. He's getting plenty of PT for what he's done to date.
