Justin Martin lays one in over a UC defender, giving himself a season high 17-points.
When I walked into the stadium, decked out in Xavier gear, University of Cincinnati fans expected a big UC win. They were cheering, yelling and shoving XU fans before the game even started. They got a rude awakening.
What surprised me in the game was Xavier shooting 11-16 from the three point line. They realized that they're three game was on and took advantage of a non-motivated UC defense. I was also surprised Semaj Christon only scored 8 points, and also how well Xavier performed when Christon was on the bench early with two fouls. Last shocker was Myles Davis only inputting 1-1 from three point range, which is surprising based on how many were shot and made.
Last thing I noticed was that it was probably 70%-80% UC fans, but for most to all of the game, the small Xavier sections were louder and way more into the game, but winning 64-47 makes that easier.
NEXT GAMES:
8-3 Xavier at 5-4 Alabama on 12/21 7:00

Here are the highlights, in case you missed it or want to re-live it.
