I don't know what XJ did over the Summer but this is amazing. 29-29 from the FT line now. He's in an absolute zone.
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.
Pro tip: that disclaimer almost never works. 🤣

What's going on with Fergusons minutes tonight?
I don't think he has looked very comfortable or good so far tonight. Here's hoping he can regain his confidence and get back to slashing and scoring here in the 2nd half.
SIU executes the pick and roll, BUT the guy with the ball very seldom looks for the guy rolling to the basket. It’s a fundamental that needs to be cleaned up.
Need to clean it up a bit but loving the effort and pace this year compared to prior seasons
JMU is starting to guard Xavier with double teams. Other guys are gonna have to step up because they're not gonna let him 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
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.
Wrong as usual. He led the Salukis in 3 pt shooting - 42.7% - which is outstanding. 2nd in steals and 2nd or 3rd in the MVC behind Jones. 2nd in rebounds, 2nd in assists.
We need to start playing at a higher level and Mullins and staff need to be held accountable to ensure that happens. If that happens, that nuance, that consistency, that Floorburn U mentality will return.Xavier Johnson is carrying this team on his back.

I think we have lost some nuance in the last decade or so.
Criticism without hate is a thing.
The CBS Scorebug is a broken mess right now, it's about 6 points behind with no time

Maybe last year. But he really wasn't anything great at George Mason. He was basically Dalton Banks.
And I am very rarely wrong.

and the picker usually turns the wrong way
what the hell is the score????

Think they have the score right now, I have no idea how much time is left though
