    Choking big time. The Cinci schools really showed us how not to close out a game.

    lmao at that idiot coach!

    hey lets foul down 1 with 8 secs on shot clock after a time out


    hey lets walk the ball down the court and have a big take a shitty 3 to maybe tie and if not, not really leave time for any other way to comeback

    Hard to know whether it's a dumb coach or dumb players in that spot.

    they choked HARD

    looked like they pissed themselves

    and I've been quietly rooting for X to make a big run as long as they don't get in the way of UNC ever since they lost 63-66 vs Duke in the 2004 Elite Eight

    air balling a 3??? driving into the thick of bodies and turning it over rinse and repeat? it was hard to watch i feel for their loyal fans

    Noles got some athletes, they just imposed their will on Xavier.

    The game changed when Macura fouled out. It was a bad call but he should know better than to reach for the ball, refs call that even if they can't see if it's a foul.

    he fouled out by being out of control and getting an offensive foul called on a play that could have been called either way

    Oh my bad, yeah that was a foul. I was talking about his fourth foul where he had to go to the bench.

    Game changed when he picked up his third all ball not close and his 4th same all ball with 8 left.. tried to make it to 4 with lead and had to put him in with 4:02 and double digit lead gone.. Had nothing to do with his 5th

    they just came off back to back time outs. 1 from FSU and 1 from Xavier.

    and it seemed pretty intentional for them to be overly aggressive and foul after those time outs.

    if you are a coach that knows your players very well.... and you've had an entire season to drill your philosophy in for these type of sequences. and then the moment arrives and you have about 5 straight minutes to talk and prep them before the final 40 secs are played out.

    its not the players' faults for mental errors at that point. that goes on the Coach

    I didn't watch this game and couldn't care less who won, but these refs have been out of control in this entire tournament. Let the kids fukkin play.
