I've said it before, it wasn't XJ's fault we didnt see this last year. I am having less and less faith in Mullins by the day, because it has become even more obvious to me that it was the coaching staffs idea for us to stand around till there were 5 seconds left last year and watch Domask or Jones try to do something last second. If last years team has moved and shared the ball like this years does, we might have been pretty good.It makes me sad we didn't get this Xavier Johnson last year
Dawgs were just waiting to do all the good stuff after the other game was over!
After being down 16 points we have come storming back. X indeed taking over...love the fire and grit. Let's keep this rolling!!!
GO DAWGS!!!
Hoping that SIU wins this and then the "let's wait until the game is over posters" come on here to shame you all like they do after every win. : )~ LOL

Oh yeah I'm not blaming him at all. Whatever we did last year did not work for whatever reason. I don't think Domask and Jones wanted to hog the ball, they left SIU for smaller roles this year to win. Also, Xavier is just playing out of his mind now. I haven't seen something like this since Anthony Beane/Desmar Jackson.
If I leave now for Cancun, can I make it in time?
What's going on with Fergusons minutes tonight?
Yeah because it is so fun to see the posts of "The Sky is Falling" crowd.
Did you watch the first 8 or 9 minutes? The sky was falling. hahaYeah because it is so fun to see the posts of "The Sky is Falling" crowd.

Just kidding. 😂
Xavier Johnson is carrying this team on his back. Teams are gonna have to start doubling him and letting other guys beat them.
And not to be a dick. I dont really have an issue with Xavier Johnson and I know this comment will anger people. But if he is your best player and main offensive weapon your team is probably not good.
Yeah, you're being one. Have you watched him this year? Players can improve
XJ looks like the best guard I've seen in the MVC period. Averaging almost 20 ppg. He's quick, he's tough, and he can shoot. He's the best player on the floor in this game.
There isn't a team in the MVC who wouldn't love to have him on their team.
He never had to take over last year like he has to this year, but he had some really good games later in the season last year. Also 2nd or 3rd in the MVC in steals behind Jones.

He is a graduate student who has spent his prior 4 seasons being mostly a non factor on offense.
He wasn't a scorer, not particularly good shooter, not great as a distributor. He left George Mason because he was recruited over.
I stand by my statement that if the 24 year old graduate student with a career PPG of around 6 or 7 is your biggest offensive weapon your team is not good.
I hope XJ repeats that first half but goes without saying that they're gonna need other guys to step up if they want to win this. Hoping Rupert has a big half.
3 fouls on Rupert now, 3 on Ebube too
