Clutch threes

I don't know about everybody else, but I could get used seeing Xavier make huge threes when they need them the most. With Xavier down by two and only 1.9 seconds left, Dante Jackson banked in a half court shot to lift the Musketeers over Virgina Tech. Obviously this game in the Puerto Rico tournament is not as meaningful as the NCAA tournament, but the shot did bring back memories of B.J. Raymond's three pointer against West Virgina.
Jackson's shot was very clutch. Prior to the half court attempt, Jackson was 0-5 from behind the arc. Good teams make shots when they need them most. Some might say that the shot was entirely luck, and there was a fair amount of luck invovlved. But again good teams create their own luck. Great job by Xavier to get the ball into the open man quickly, and find the opportunity to take an open, decent shot.
Great game. Highly intertaining. This team just keeps giving us great reasons to watch them. These early close games are going to be great practice and learning experiences come the stretch of the season.
