“Our conference is still going to be major,” Cronin said. “The thing about being in a league with football, your brand is on ESPN in August. That allows you to start promoting your basketball brand. I think that was probably a problem for the Atlantic 10, and now could be for the Big East. There’s definite positives to the football factor.” ]]> Big East Conference pimpinthebox http://www.xavierhoops.com/showthread.php?25299-Cronin-s-Big-East-Comments <![CDATA[Dana & Victory Podcast: Episode 30]]> http://www.xavierhoops.com/showthread.php?25298-Dana-amp-Victory-Podcast-Episode-30&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 16:00:26 GMT Dan and Rick welcome in Brian Snow to talk about Xavier's three new commitments, and their impact on the roster in 2013-14 and 2014-15.

So I'm waiting to see if the PS4 or Xbox One (that's the name used at today's reveal) will stand out. Well, I have to say that Xbox One has definitely grabbed my attention.

Obviously it's basically like a recruit's highlight video at this point. All we're going to see will be the cool things they want us to see. But Microsoft definitely succeeded in that respect. I've seen some stuff on the PS4 and, as of now, it pacing behind. Sony will have a chance to make up ground in a couple weeks at E3. Of course Microsoft will also be there and they have plans to announce several titles exclusive to Xbox One.

For those that haven't seen it yet, find an on-demand version of the presentation and check it out (Xbox 360 owners can do so on their console). I know I found it to be pretty impressive. ]]> Out on the Mall Xman95 http://www.xavierhoops.com/showthread.php?25297-Xbox-One Women’s hoops summer league http://www.xavierhoops.com/showthread.php?25296-Women’s-hoops-summer-league&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 18:10:03 GMT The S&#38;A Next Level Basketball summer women’s hoops league is returning next month for its sophomore season.

But things haven’t been going all that well for Barnes of late. Last season, his Longhorns went 16-18 and lost in the CBI, extending their streak to five consecutive seasons without making it out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. That streak will likely continue into next season, as Jaylen Bond, Julien Lewis and Sheldon McClellan followed Myck Kabongo out the door.
How bad are things getting for Barnes down in Austin?
In a place where they couldn’t possibly care less about college basketball, local columnists starting to take notice.

Personally I think Rick Barnes personally killed any hopes his UT squad had against X during "the Run" with his ridiculous technical fouls. That put the game away. ]]> Around The NCAA Muskie http://www.xavierhoops.com/showthread.php?25294-Rick-Barnes-on-Hot-Seat <![CDATA[A look at next year's team]]> http://www.xavierhoops.com/showthread.php?25293-A-look-at-next-year-s-team&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 21:50:28 GMT The events of the last few days have changed the complexion of Xavier's roster as soon as this fall.

In 29 games for the Boilermakers, Marcius averaged 3.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in just over nine minutes per game. His best offensive performance came in Purdue’s 80-75 loss to Michigan on March 6, as Marcius scored 13 points (6-fo-9 FG) while also grabbing five rebounds.

Some may recall that Marcus and Purdue agreed to part ways, but then Marcus expected Purdue to pick up the tab on summer school.
