(3) Wednesday Big East Games 3/1/23

[Omaha1]

Wish I had seen some of the earlier game. Congrats XU.

As far as the Jays game: 19 made three pointers will beat anyone. Don’t love the we used that kind of night against Georgetown.

X won 5 v 8, pretty impressive

You didn't notice a serious change in officiating after Xavier went up 40-18 in the first half?

[Wizard of Westroads]

so next Thursday could be
1 Marquette vs St John's/Butler
4 Creighton vs 5 UConn
2 Xavier vs 7 Seton Hall
3 Providence vs 6 Villanova

What a Thursday lineup. Mon dieu!

No, i really didn't actually. We're all biased towards our teams, so the things that stand out to me are...

(1) Bynum being tripped on a drive at 16:45, getting no call...

(2) stuff like Carter at 9:50 getting whistled for nothing...

(3) Cooley's tech on a ridiculous late whistle on a out of control X miss...

(4) XU shooting 97% from the floor, which couldn't be sustained, except it did continue in the 2nd half...

(5) Nunge getting his 2nd foul and your roster having no one else healthy over 6-foot-6.

I mean, c'mon, if there was ever a game that i wouldn't have to hear about the refs at the Dunk Amp, i thought it would be this one.

X played great and deserved the win. Miller is a super coach and had a great gameplan.
Boum and Jones shot crazy numbers of 21-for-28 from the floor, and 13-14 from the line.

Your retro uniforms were awesome. Our home grays were ugly as sh-t. You deserved the W on that alone haha.

#3 was a calculated move by Cooley. He wanted the technical to get the chance to rant at the refs and get in their ear. It's not like Xavier was free from the consequences of bad reffing before that technical either; the refs poorly managed much of the first half. I'd say it slightly favored Xavier up until that point but it would balance out to the typical home team advantage over the course of the whole game. But then, Providence got a *very* friendly whistle for the rest of the first half after Cooley's technical. The second half was more balanced, with the refs calling a lot of touch fouls but also making some confusing mistakes, but Providence was definitely the recipient of a favorable whistle down the stretch in the first half. That's some good ref working by Cooley.

Edit: Agreed on the uniforms lol. I felt like it would have been a good night for Providence to pull out one of their cooler uniforms to complement Xavier, but alas, we got those grays.
