#10 Xavier @ #1 Villanova 1/10/18

[MarquetteRustler]

This has been a beat down so far.

This has continued to be a beatdown. Nova playing really well. Xavier looks tight.

Awwe... The annual Nova beat down of X! Almost as predictable as the sun coming up in the east and going down in the west!

Nova be like

Would it be too much to ask for X to continue to play like this on Saturday? They didn't pass the top 10 "eyetest" tonight. Marquette & DePaul gave better effort against 'Nova.

Of course they'll come out Saturday like gangbusters against CU.

Xavier has not looked great for a while now. Its no shame to lose to Nova, but somethings up with this team.

If Paschall is hitting 3's, Nova won't lose many games this season.

Goodin, Macura, Bluiett combined 6 for 28. rest of team 18 for 30. at some point, if you're struggling shooting the ball, you have to do other things and stop hoisting 3s. especially when Kanter is 6 of 7. You just haven't fed the ball enough to him down low.

Kanter can provide that other dimension to their offense. slow it down. work the ball inside out for better shots.

Good grief Nova, was it necessary to completely blow them out? We have to play X Saturday at their place and now they are going to be crazy pissed off and super focused. Thanks a lot...
