After a strong start for Xavier, they stopped hitting shots and Villanova ramped it up big time. Recipe for a blowout.

Xavier went cold. These things unfortunately happen. I know Xavier is much better than they showed tonight, but being a fan of a team that relies heavily on the 3 I know what it's like. Villanova played very well, no doubt about it, but even the best teams have off shooting nights, tonight was one of those nights for Xavier.

I am expecting a much closer game in Ohio.

Well played Nova. Only consolation is that this loss will hopefully improve X come March.

too many injuries, too much inexperience... couldn't get the ball over halfcourt in the last 2 minutes... everything that could've gone wrong did go wrong, right down to the BG 3-point play and then our missed layup as time expired... unbelievable... just a crushing loss... oof...

:shock:

I think we're beginning to see there's is a clear separation between the top half and bottom half of the BE. BTW, where are the posters who were serving up crow sandwiches a few weeks ago about where the Friars were predicted to finish during the preseason???

Yeah, i thought it was really bad karma a month ago when the "PC finishing 9th" debates were in high gear. Me, i specifically avoided those threads cuz the Friars were so young and young teams are inconsistent.

My points of defense for PC a couple of weeks ago were when someone on this site started making up numbers for Bullock, and dismissing solid wins vs UMass and whoever where i defended PC, and I also pointed to competitive losses at Ohio State and vs Virginia.

Tonight, in fairness to PC, Cartwright played great but had no lift due to his leg... plus he got chop blocked with about 8 minutes to go which banged his knee, made him basically immobile, and hurt his hand.

Lindsey didn't play at all with a bum wrist, which he had a cast on.

Drew Edwards (PG who made the inbounds to Bullock for winning shot vs USC in NCAA's) reinjured his knee in mid December and is supposedly out for the rest of the year.

So we had a 10 point lead the entire 2nd half. We stalled the ball once Cartwright's got dinged, to shorten the game, and DePaul made clutch plays. Our turnovers all game though were horrendous, just a ton of wasted possessions. Terrible unnecessary loss.

I know i'm making excuses, but those have been important factors recently.

Anyway, between this loss and the one at BC, these are 2 terrible demoralizing losses.
