February 4, 20179 yr Xavier battled back after being down early, but both teams got sloppy down the stretch. Either team could have just taken the game at the end. X turned it over too much at the end. Can't turn the ball over at the end of the game and it seemed like X did that 6 or 7 times just in the final minute. Didn't look like they were ready for pressure on the big stage. Coach Mack's team did what they needed to do, though :thumb: Should have put in Leighton Schrand! Big win!
February 5, 20179 yr Nice road win but X was very lucky at the end. Creighton missed a wide open uncontested layup with about 15 seconds left that would have tied it. X turned it over 3 times against the press in the last minute I believe. They basically tried to give the game to Creighton at the end but held on... I feel so bad for both teams as they are just not the same without their injured guards...just a shame...
February 5, 20179 yr I took particular delight in seeing Creighton's notorious flopper commit a crucial turnover on their last possession. That team has a history of flopping - must be a staple of McDermott's coaching repertoire.
