    Good for XU. Just hope they don't fall prey to the Cincinnati post-season curse.

    Re: Xavier Basketball

    Saw Xavier play at Butler a few weeks ago. The size and athleticism of this year's team is impressive. During warmups, my dad commented that X looked like an NBA team and Butler looked like a small Midwestern private school. Once the ball was in play, the advantage played out. Xavier was far superior. As a Flyer fan this pains me (though my animosity has dulled since X's A10 departure), but it's pretty clear the program has utilized the jump to the Big East to bring in bigger, stronger, faster athletes. Mack doesn't need to out-execute or out-gameplan, like mid-major teams generally do, they'll just beat you with their talent. It's been interesting watching the program evolve since the move.

    I was at the Butler/Purdue game and saw a pretty dang fine Bulldog squad beat a pretty dang fine Boiler squad. I was amazed at how easily X handled the Dawgs at Hinkle. The Muskies are for real.

    I'm already dreading the inevitable "runs into a team that shoots 70% from behind the arc" loss in the round of 32.

    It's so nice to see Myles Davis playing basketball again.

    Are you really worked up about Davis coming back after a 15 game suspension?!? It doesn't seem to be that he exactly get off light given his infraction.

    Lost year. Good thing is that they'll be able to get Q some minutes now.

    I hated the outcome, but the Creighton game was also fantastic. I feel much better heading into Selection Sunday now.

    I saw the last 10 minutes of regulation plus OT last night and that was an excellent game. Lot of stones by X to win at Hinkle.
