Regardless of what happened against UConn, winning at Kentucky would have been a huge reach for this team. Granted, that's potentially the kind of game they'd be playing should they advance to the NCAA Tournament.
On to Villanova - time to send them back to the Stone Age.
Weekend series against Villanova being streamed on FloSports - so far, off to a good start with a 2-run 1st inning on the strength of 1 hit and 4 Nova walks.
Only 2 hits - Xavier should be slacking.
But it's 6-0 because 1) the 2nd hit was a 3-run homer and 2) Villanova has walked an astounding 9 batters and hit another batter through 4 innings.
Seems as if their pitchers throw just about the same amount of strikes as the basketball team made 3 pointers this yearQuote:

And an 8-4 victory. Ethan Bosacker threw a complete game and saves the bullpen for the final 2 games.
14-1 today. The weekend is going to plan so far!
Big East contenders win series like these, NCAA Tournament contenders sweep series like these.
Guessing Brent Alazaus gets the ball tomorrow; today was a bullpen game with both Luke Hoskins and Luke Bell making appearances on the mound.
Meanwhile, Georgetown did salvage 1 win at UConn this weekend, so a Xavier win tomorrow puts the Musketeers back in 1st place by a full game.
Seton Hall has dropped their first two at HOME to Butler and needs a win to avoid a sweep tomorrow.
Creighton won their opener against St. John's last night.
Xavier ain't messing around - put up a 5-spot in the 2nd inning and now up 6-0 through 3 innings.
