Things are set up for a run.

We should all feel really good about how the seeding for the Big East Tournament sets up so nicely for X.

Creighton, UConn and Villanova all in the bottom bracket is as favorable as it gets for us.

St Johns can be had for sure....I think Butler can save X the trouble and take care of business.

Marquette the best match up for our roster as well. They have NO DEPTH and NOTHING at the 5.

Gold has a style that really pisses me off. He doesn't have any real ability to rebound the ball....he has mastered this sissy "slapping" technique.

GO X!!

There is something a little off on these stats, but here are the top players heading into the BET.

I'll be rooting against GTown and Nova. Don't want a bid stolen from X within the conference. Even without Sorber the combo of Epps, Mack & Peavy can be dangerous. Nova has even more talent.

I'm more confident that X can win the Big East tournament than ever before. We beat all the teams except St. John's, and we had a chance at MSG. One thing that concerns me is the Marquette vs St. John's game yesterday. The referees reverted to the "No autopsy, no foul" rule. I'm not sure X can play that physical game of basketball. Also, since many on this board suggest that St. John's can't shoot, would Sean consider zone if we meet them?

I’ll worry about SJU if we can get by Marquette.

Winning it would be cool but just beat Marquette. Should have beaten them twice. X is better than them, just need to play well

I think they've got deal for $7.99 a month for 3 months. Could subscribe and then cancel.

I would not play zone against SJU.

Defensive rebounding in a zone is dicey. And we need to one d board and run on offense. SNU halfcourt defense is very good, and we want shots early in the possession before they set up.

Let them shoot in the half court force tough shots and rebound.

Interesting odds for the tournament. St. John's is +140 to win it, and Marquette, Creighton and UConn are all between +400 and +450. Then Xavier at +1000
Just interesting the perceived separation still between X and those three.

Also suggests Xavier will be a significant dog on Thursday. 4 or 5 points?

Kenpom says 5 Torvik says -1.5. If it's 4-5 i'm putting the house on X. I honestly believe X is better than Marquette.

Here are some interesting facts.

Xavier is just 2-5 vs Marquette in March since 2011.

1 loss is a very memorable one....the curb stomp they put on us in the 2011 NCAA Tournament....that was before the New Big East.

Since joining the conference, X is still just 2-4 in March....HOWEVER, BOTH of those wins were in the BE Tournament.

Now that the bracket is set… screw it x vs UConn in the final and x cuts down the nets, winning essentially two road games along the way and spoiling all the northeasters fun.

Telfort benched with 2 fouls in first 3 minutes. Butler is getting hammered.

SJU owning every facet of the game of basketball against these wimps.
