This is such a trap game, hope we don't overlook the opponent tonight.

This is such a trap game, hope we don't overlook the opponent tonight.

The team is definitely not talented enough to overlook anyone.

This is such a trap game, hope we don't overlook the opponent tonight.

If this team thinks they can overlook anybody then they are delirious

 

[miner1liner]

They have lost four straight games during which they have averaged a whopping 61, yes 61 ppg and two of these were OT affairs. They were 27 of 83 from 3's or 32% and 41 of 74 on FT's or 55%. With these awful results they couldn't overlook 5 old ladies from a retirement home

 

[unihorn]

Last home conference MBB game vs. UTSA. Let’s make roadkill of the roadrunners, fellas!

 

[Maximus Miner]

Power problems in the Don apparently. Doors won’t open to fans yet. SMH.

 

[Cube Jack]

Good. I'm running late

 

[miner1liner]

Watching Boum (20pts) beating Creighton with 2 minutes left .Xavier is ranked 12th

 

[MinerManiac]

Wow, interesting move by Golding, replacing rhe entire starting five 3:30 into the game due to their horrible start. Hope it works.

 

[MinerManiac]

Sibley for 3, then a steal. Good start for the 2nd unit

 

[axingfools1]

Why do we keep shooting 3's? Attack the basket.

 

[MinerManiac]

UTSA has knocked down some tough shots here. It's hard to believe that they're struggling

 

[MinerManiac]

Golding needs a 3rd unit to bring in

 

[Lil_Train]

Pretty much all Buggs. He hit the 3 at the buzzer to beat MTSU. UTEP better get it together.

 

[axingfools1]

We look like a cluster...again. Do we even have an offense?

 

[MineroFanatico]

Why do we keep shooting 3's? Attack the basket.

I’m not sure. This is ugly bb. Even our defense looks like shit tonight. Not sure why I carved time out of my evening for this…again.

We’ll probably make a run, close the gap to a one possession game, miss some critical free throws then run some sorry ass last second play and get a crap shot up , only to lose by 1 or 2 again.

 

[axingfools1]

We've already shot 8 3-pointers

 

[axingfools1]

Oh look 7 straight points at the basket. What do you know!!

 

[Lil_Train]

We've already shot 8 3-pointers

Except for the one by Frazier, they have all been wide open. Onyema has no business shooting them.

 

[MinerManiac]

Looking for something positive to say.... we're really hitting our offensive board tonight

 

[MineroFanatico]

Nice run!!

Should have been an and 1 .

 

[axingfools1]

Here we go. Strong D, rebound and attack the basket...all night

 

[MinerManiac]

Looking for something positive to say.... we're really hitting our offensive board tonight

Oh, and nice run, fueled by offensive boards, good D, and attacking the basket

 

[MineroFanatico]

Dos Anjos definitely called the bank on that 3.😏

 

[MinerManiac]

Doubt he called glass

 

[Lil_Train]

The bank is open.

 

[axingfools1]

Aaaand now we stop defending the rim and start shooting 3s again 🤪

 

[MineroFanatico]

Lemus should not shoot another 3 all year. Jeezuz!!

 

[axingfools1]

Why did Satterfield leave again?

 

[MinerManiac]

We attack the basket and gain a lead, now we go back to jacking up threes. The only one we made in this run was pure luck

 

[develman]

They can't make wide-open shots. I know some say don't take threes, but if you're in D 1 you should make open shots. What am I saying they can't make free throws.🥺

 

[axingfools1]

Great last play.

 

[MinerManiac]

Well, not to long ago if you told me that we'd have a halftime lead I would have laughed at you

We are shooting lights out from the FT line. 😃

 

[MinerManiac]

Can you imagine the score if we weren't continually jacking up 3s?

 

[axingfools1]

Golding said he wants the ball to touch the paint against the zone, not just shoot 3s.

Well, 16 of our 31 (over half) our shots are threes, so?
