Tell me outside of Harris one guy that doesn't have to give extra effort to try and rebound? Also tell me someone on our team that has the 6'9" 275lb size that Farr and Reynolds have for Xavier? Nobody on our entire roster is big enough to consistently fight for rebounds.

I know we're not going to be a rebounding team. But a lot of times if we would even attempt to box out, we'd get the rebound. We had three guys under the basket and white boy comes soaring in to get the rebound when not even one of our guys even went for it. That shite happens to us all the time.

We out zero effort into rebounding and it's frustrating as hell

We can be lazy on rebounding if our guys think it is a gimme

We aren't going to win rebounding often anyways though

We need Bryce Brown to find his touch. The lack of a competent guard allows teams to key on Canty

If Brown can just be solid driving and shooting, it would be huge for our O

Mason didn't even qualify for scoring duebto missing so many games and only had like 14ppg anyways.


Only 14.4? That was good enough for top 10 in the league in scoring.

Single digits. Hopefully we can make some halftime defensive adjustments. That 3 Dunans just threw up... so stupid. Guys are open. It's not like Xavier is playing great defense.

Can't discount the effort of this team.

The coordination and teamwork? Yes. Effort? No.

Amazing halftime score considering we went so long without scoring to start the game.

Our guys can play with Xavier. Pearl needs to coach them up for this second half.

Effort is a little lacking for my taste.

We don't quit though. Got to give them credit for that.

St. John's is one of the most wtf teams in the country. Lost by 32 in an exhibition to St. Thomas Aquinas. Lose by 37 to Vandy and then turn around and beat Syracuse by 12 before losing at Incarnate Word by 22 who didn't have a D1 win going into it

Antoine Mason was out for a large portion of the year + he had the worst FG% of "top 10" SEC scorers. Top 10 isn't game changing "big time" it is just good

Either way, we were forced to play our backup 6'4 PG at C last year because we had no fricking plars

We aren't putting out 100% effort all the time. But we're not laying down because we're down.

Don't know what's funny about that.
