Tomorrow, should clearer heads prevail, we’ll get into a full breakdown of the game, but tonight the prevailing emotion is that of anger. Xavier came into this game the underdog, got 40 points from a blistering hot Trevon Bluiett, and had to ride Quentin Goodin for 15 (actually very good) minutes but absolutely should have won this game. Instead, they lost in the most disgusting of fashions, by simply being outworked.
One of the coaches at our alma mater had a saying about rocks, jelly beans, and marshmallows. The gist was that a rock looked hard and was hard, a jelly bean looked hard but was soft, and a marshmallow looked soft and was soft.
