AB34 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Helluva an effort. Think the team played well. Wish the crowd would have stepped up more. Was good in spurts, but disappointed more people weren't on their feet for turning-point possessions. Crawford was stellar. He hit one three and XU called a TO, Cassity just looked to the bench and threw his hands up. KC had a hand in his face all night. We gave it our best shot. Still 3 more good games to go and can make an impression. A four seed is not out of question still. Let's keep supporting the Billikids. I still think we are a dangerous team in the A-10 tourney. See y'all on Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
800lbG Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Very very good game tonight. You guys have a good young team, a great arena, and a great student section. I came away very impressed and I am looking forward to our matchups next year. Glad to have you here in the A10. It's never easy to take down the 800lbG though.

joe_davola Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 No one wants to play at the Fetz...X made some circus shots, but ultimately, they are a more skilled team than we are. Remember, this is one of the top teams in the A-10 and we were supposedly the floormats of the A-10 this year. I love this team and we are going to be tough as ###### the next couple years. No one, including Xavier, will want to play these Bills. Davola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJK Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 agree... good atmosphere tonight but I was in the good seats for once... right behind the good doctor (fetz)... and I couldn't believe how hard it was to get people up before the last few minutes. There were a few points at the 8 to 9:00 minute mark in the secoond half that i thought a little more crowd noise would have made a difference... get up all of you old white men... yell and cheer and feel youthful. its fun... I promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise.I don't know if Fox muted the decibel level vs how ESPNU monitored it at the Dayton game, but the noise level didn't seem to match the UD game. Guess you had to be there to really judge. Overall, the student section looked scary and loud in their FT defense, but any 800 lb gorilla worth his salt doesn't rattle easy. I thought for sure Love would miss both as those white baloons and fat heads would make him flinch. And when the cameras did pan to the "geezer" sections it looked they were sitting on their hands. C'mon, folks, it ain't a curling match or a PGA tournament for cripes sake! Didn't see the good Dr. C hit the floor at any time like he did at Dayton. Maybe security told him to cool his jets or he'd be tossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting right behind xavier's fans section behind their bench a couple rows up and this old prick kept telling me to quit leaning forward because he couldnt see. Finally towards the end of the game he got up and left. He must have got sick of me leaning forward and standing all the time during the game. Its a basketball game people have fun and if ur not having fun dont ruin it for other people who want to have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was there a guy sitting in that area wearing a full Indiana warm-up outfit, complete with striped pants? It's strokes like that who drive me nuts at these games. Glad you ignored the old coot.

Still, a lot of our fans need to DO SOMETHING. People in this city are way too used to watching baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was said on here in another topic that Crawford went to Indiana and then transfered to Xavier so I guess maybe thats why but still doesnt make sense to me why they would be here.

See y'all on Saturday night. AB34- I think that was the first time in tournament play this year that I sat down in your section. NOBODY stands up with the exception of your crew (including Davola and Dirty and Big Guy). Every time I rose (usually to yell at the refs), I found myself being the only one around me. At least I didnt spill a beer on anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Am I the only one that thinks KM should have gone to the hoop instead of putting up the three? He had the lane, but I guess the couple times he got blocked earlier may have effected his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
