This says it all about our depth this year.... "boy do they have a lot of options. One of the guys sitting with me last night said we had the 1st and second best players, and X had 3-10, and when you throw in the bench, it was even more lopsided". This from the Scout messageboard for the Friars. Here's the link to the thread: http://www.scout.com/college/provide...4499561-xavier.
That group actually sounds sane and reasoned.
Gotta give props to the PC crowd last night. Significantly louder than any gym I can remember in a long time. Much louder than those pansies at Nova.
It's an interesting year atop the Big East. Xavier matches up favorably against Providence. Providence matches up favorably against Villanova. Villanova matches up favorably against Xavier.
Saw that on their thread too. I think it's pretty accurate. Sooo irritating with the Villanova thing. One of them said based on their game at Nova, he wouldn't say they're a good shooting team. And yet they shoot lights out against X every damn time we play them. It has to keep Mack up at night wondering what he can do differently to beat themQuote:

I haven't really disliked a player to this extent in quite some time. He seems to be the epitome of player you love to have on your team (maybe some, not me), but really hate if he's against you. He flops, draws BS fouls with with that brutal head snap, always seems to have a sh!t eating grin on his face, and is incessantly chirping throughout the game.
Really seems like the pre one-and-done era at Duke kind of player
Maybe most despised white player in the league....? I am pretty sure he relishes the role.
Macura is just a PITA. Classic white guy who flops around looking for fouls.
Nova game at Cintas will be a different story. I don't think the first one is a good comparison based on the circumstances.
In the poster's defense, they know about one and done.Quote:

Providence is my favorite conference opponent, both because of Ed Cooley and because of the fanbase. I just wish it didn't sound like they were chanting "Flyers" whenever they chanted "Friars."
