2nd half.....zona/xavier total 73/73.5ish

[zeketaylor]

over 73.5......


overtime may be in the works, but at times, these teams played 4-5 pt mins, followed by some narrow misses...i expect physicality and whistles and end game scenarios where FT come into play.......

GL Zeke!

 

[zeketaylor]

9 in first 2 mins.....4.5/min way faster pace than i need, nice start

 

[zeketaylor]

14 in a tad over 3 mins......almost on pace for 88, can even afford to slow down

 

[zeketaylor]

29 in 8.5 mins.......1137 to go ....to put that in perspective the first half was 28-28......so they have surpassed the first half pace, with about 15% f the period of time to spare......once u take endgame scenarios, possible Ot, etc this half total should hit about 79-81 based on current pace and foul conditions, and the fact that which ever team is losing is facing end of season (fouls)

 

[zeketaylor]

wow....they hit 37 pts right at 9:57....so glad they got all the quick points and fouls, gonna need them all, this line is air tight.........on pace for eaxctly 73.5!

 

[gsw408]

Hope you hit it. Was leaning over as well.

Haven't seen many X games...look like a tough out

 

[zeketaylor]

nice little explosion of scoring ......51-49 at 830 media timeout.........thats 44, 7 pts since 957 mark. 30 more pts to go in 8.5 mins.....even w/o end game scenarios thats about 3.2 pts per min, which is where they have been playing.....IE 100pts/31.5 mins.......

Might need ot or one team to be far enough ahead that the other starts fouling a lot in the last minute or 2. Good luck.

 

[zeketaylor]

Xaviers power forward Jalen reynolds is a matchup prob for most teams, espoecially when most teams have to devote at least 1 big and some help to clog stainbrooks progress.......Reynolds will likely get to continue to have this type of protection in the nba where most teams have a 7 footer.........hes very athletic, and at 220, he can afford to get bigger. Hes crazy athletic, hes only a sophomore

 

[zeketaylor]

Hope you hit it. Was leaning over as well.

For first halves I was under 63.5 for this game, and under 63 for kentucky........i saw this game flipping the script in 2nd half......to be honest with u, arizona is gonna find themselves eliminated if they keep milking clock and standing around on offense

 

[zeketaylor]

dude from X just F'ed me and X when he missed from 1 foot....zona gonna take air out now up 55-53 5 min to go

 

[zeketaylor]

thank goodness the refs are cooperating......fouls fouls! 55-54 .....53.....21 pts to go

 

[loomis41973]

Keep it up Zona

 

[jasonc69]

Gonna need Zona to maintain a 4 or 5 point lead and the fouling in the last minute should get us there.

 

[zeketaylor]

58-55, need 130 to hit 74.....i find it odd, xaviers stainbrook missed his ft at 351 to go, and at 336 , 15 sec later zona got fouled inside shooting.....dont get me wrong I like this, bit zonas style is to suffocate u on DEf and take air out of ball there.....thank u for saving the 20 secs!

 

[zeketaylor]

Gonna need Zona to maintain a 4 or 5 point lead and the fouling in the last minute should get us there.

im still convinced these teams score their way to 125-127...only stalling makes us need the fouling

 

[zeketaylor]

11 pts away, 230 to go xavier down 5...should be following here i think

 

[jasonc69]

Xavier gonna have to make a few baskets to help!
