Pretty wild that X picked up two fouls in two minutes and hasn’t come out yet.

Because if you take out X, the game is over.  People complained we were a 2 man team last year, they're a 1 man team this year

This is embarrassing.  It's X vs the Shockers

Hensley doesn’t look rusty.

Where is Ebube? We're giving up Offensive rebounds every other possession

The good news is Hensley actually looks like he might make an impact this season

in college, when your best player is your point guard, him having the ball a lot is a good thing. Please don’t forget how bad the offense was last year with Domask and Jones ball stopping. X is fantastic but there is significantly more ball movement this year. Let’s not complain about having the best on ball player in the mvc under 6’7”

Very jamfan of you to somehow turn X being a complete player into a jarring thing. We have plenty of other weaknesses to worry about rather than X’s usage rate. Let’s try to get this W.

That last 12 seconds was pathetic.

I don't know what you're talking about.  X has been awesome this year but there's no help around him at all (although maybe Hensley will help some).  He's not going to last until February with the amount of minutes he has to play because if he sits, the team will collapse.  They went out and got Trey Miller in the portal and he's unusable.

The AD needs to pull Mullins and his coaching staff aside and tell them they have to teach this team how to box out and rebound.  This basic fundamental is killing this team.

we’re all on the same side. Trey finding his footing is obviously something that’s been going poorly. Was it a scouting error or is it just a mental thing? Who knows. But I’m tired of “one man show.” Almost every team in the country revolves around one or two players and if those players get injured the team will see a huge drop off. Xavier can handle 40 minutes every game this year with no issue. He’s in his early 20’s and takes care of his body. Just has to really take recovery very seriously. There’s 19 year olds playing 72 games in the nba.

The easy Shocker points off putbacks and at the free throw line based off lousy rebounding by Southern prevented that from getting very close. I know Wichita is big and athletic but find some guys who are willing to play more physical and put a body on someone.

The 3-point shooting was also really bad. Brown had a very rough half.

Fortunate X only has two fouls going into the second half. Need a BIG effort to stay in this all the way.
