Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

This tournament will pay dividends through out the season. Solid showing by the Panthers, we gained some valuable experience against quality opponents.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

We've gotta stay more aggressive...and shoot the ball better.

When UNI wins big games...it's because they find that fearless mentality. Didn't seem like we had that tonight til late.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

Agree. This team showed some character and grit early in the season with a young roster. Keep healthy and keep working, plenty for the staff to coach em up with.

Well darn. Xavier isn't unbeatable. Should be a good second game on Saturday. Really great showing by our young team at this tourney. We could've easily won this game with making FTs and less turnovers.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

You always see officials give a quick whistle to the team leading when the pressure comes from the desperate team... except against Texas A&M

Sigh... my exact comments as those plays went down.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

We didn't shoot well, but Xavier really didn't either. They were just 5/22 from 3. They got a lot of buckets inside. 15 turnovers hurt, missed FTs hurt, and offensive boards probably hurt the worst. I'd be curious to see how many second chance points Xavier had, felt like a lot.

Hanging with one of the top teams in the nation with as many new players as Jake has is nothing to be ashamed of.

Exactly. They are missing a few players that are REALLY good. But nonetheless, we stuck with them. The future is bright.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

Koch needs to be smarter going up against their big guys, nothing wrong with kicking the ball out and trying again.

I really liked McCloud's aggression towards the end and it seems he earned his minutes tonight. He just loses control too much.

UNI won't be intimidated by the Cintas Center, if anything we will rise to the occasion even more so. Looking forward to a good game

The guards need to help Koch out, by rotating, instead of standing still.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

Would like to see Klint force the issue a little more in a game like that. Especially when we're in the bonus.

Would like to see Haldeman get a few more minutes.

Not our best night...but fellas fought hard.

Helluva showing in the tourney. Got me excited for the season.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

Had our chances, but turnovers, offensive rebounds and free throws killed us. Next Saturday won't be pretty, Xavier will be much better at home. These games against physical opponents will help come March though.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

I would like Spencer to get in the game way earlier. Good shooters don't like to sit out for the first ten minutes of the game. He was huge the first two games then didn't get in. I think we started strong and Jake went away from his regular subsitution pattern.

Living by the 3 we will have several of these games.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

I haven't really seen him play. Anyone that has seen him play lately think McDonnell by the end of the season could give us some points off the bench? We could really use some post to come off the bench and give us a little spark. Two years ago some talked that he would play as a true freshmen. Could have used his length tonight.

Re: Up Next: Xavier 1: Orlando

I trust in Jake. We'll go to work this week and be that much better prepared. They may have more athletisicm but we have a coach who believes and gives our team heart. Muskies need to look out 11/26!
