Nova vs. X

[crawfords corner]

Bill Murray was in attendance because his son Luke is an assistant coach for Xavier.

Also, seeing XU as much as I have(Ive gone to some games this year since it's 10 minutes from me) that loss to Villanova was a complete fluke. At least the manner in which they lost was.

That Sumner injury would have made most teams struggle the rest of that day. It ended up not being as serious as it looked, but they didn't know that until later. As you saw tonight, he had 19 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.

Somehow seeding needs to have the bias of past performance. Certain teams almost always perform below their seeding. In March, are you more worried about 1 seed Villanova or a 3 seed Michigan St?

I like Chris Mack, but I wouldn't want him here. It's nothing against his coaching. I just think he'd be miserable here having to put up with all of us and the pressure that comes with UK. He's more of the quiet, family man type of person. I just don't think he'd enjoy coaching here.

Obviously though, I could be wrong.

Well, I'm sure you guys heard Matt Jones say yesterday that he expects Mack to be UofL's next coach...

Well, yeah. Most objective systems have had Xavier in the 10-20 range for most of the season.

Villanova has been a cut above Xavier during conference play.

I take it the bettors aren't objective.

As for Nova vs. X, not really. X loss to Nova is a throwaway.
