What a frustrating game to watch! The Muskies start off 9-0 and then look pretty bad the rest of the game. While Semaj Christon (18 pts, 6 asts) and Travis Taylor (13 pts on 5-8 shooting) played well, most of the team didn't seem to ever get into the flow of the game. We shot 48% and only turned the ball over 8 teams but allowed Pacific to shoot 57% and were out-rebounded 28 to 17. Brad Redford was never open and took one shot and Jeff Robinson only took 3 shots all day. Not the recipe for success.
We have to put this loss in the past as the Muskies play again tomorrow. Xavier plays Drexel on Friday at 6:00 on ESPNU. Drexel is 1-3 on the season but has lost to some solid teams. They have 5 guys averaging double-digits in scoring. Expect another back-and-forth battle Let's get it together Muskies!
