I was sure as hell hoping for your best efforts vs Villanova and the W. Oh f'in well.

So it goes without saying vs Creighton, that the Muskies will play out of their minds, unconscious, and hit approx 60% of everything
they throw at the basket, including the kitchen appliances, the dining room table and chairs, as well as all of the pool toys.

lol...

Lil Creighton rolled in tonite... We will take your best shot and still sneak out of the Cintas with the W. We don't have any choice
as we don't know when our next game will be...expecting several more cancellation/postponements. Most of the so-called
resched's probably will not get played. So we can look forward to several more road games and sayonara to the cancelled home
tilts.

Ah yes...such is life. The BE is hard with a regular schedule...harder still with 10 road/5 home tilts.

BRING IT...

Love your optimism git. I don’t see it happening at XU with them coming off a tough loss to nova, but I’ll cheer loudly nonetheless.

Here's how I see the rumble on Victory Parkway today.

Obviously if experience wins the day....woohoo XAVIER!

However, your starting Jays match up nicely with any combination of X starters. I think Steele will ask more of Nunge, to try and neutralize Kalk. Nembhard will tested for sure with a healthy dose of Scruggs/Johnson/Odom and AOC for the same reasons. My concern is with Hawkins. I am thinking Hunter will give us the best shot at avoiding an offensive avalanche from him....Jones or Freemantle not so much. I expect Jones to draw the D assignment on Kaluma but he could get bullied by Feazell once the bench comes in play.

2 keys for X.....severely limit CU's second chance opportunities and draw A LOT of fouls! Make more FT's than the BlueJays attempt.

2 lines that make sense especially with how the teams are playing right now. Maybe a smidge high on Xavier/low on Creighton- not sure Xavier neutral court would be considered 6 points better than Creighton. The SH/Marquette number seems just about right given the debacle of Thursday for Seton Hall.

I'd probably take both road teams and get the points.

Creighton and Marquette want to get out of the pit of misery it looks like.

Xavier seems out of synch but the Jays are way too turnover prone to exploit this.

yeah what did they say 10 turnovers(now 11)? That's kept Xavier in the game.

great usage of the 2 for 1 by Creighton to get the last 4 points of the half. Seton Hall tried to do it but their look was incredibly rushed.
