Hoyas handing around. Will they meltdown in the 2nd half?

I think they aren't a great matchup for Xavier, because Primo Spears is the type of dude that Xavier struggles to stop. They don't have enough pieces to reasonably keep up with Xavier's offensive onslaught because Georgetown's defense isn't good. So, if Xavier doesn't put this away, it's going to be because they collapsed.

DePaul is really good. They've got a bunch of scoring options. Kind of a frenetic style all over the court. T-Stub's movement and voice is confusing and distracting to their opponents.

Gibson at PG looked reeeally good. Although Breed has played great, we really need Bynum back if only to give Breed a rest.

Anei on DePaul though is a danger out there. He's going to hurt someone. He flails around like the lead singer from Midnight Oil, throwing "accidental" elbows and swinging his arms, while also dangerously and purposely undercutting opponents while they're in the air under the hoop. it doesn't help that he's 7 feet tall... Ed Croswell was about to pop him... Anei is the Grayson Allen of DePaul.

Noah Locke was unconscious from deep, hitting 7 threes. Hopkins had an effortless 20/10.
