Trying to remember from two years ago - was Freemantle already out with his injury when Nova won at Cintas? I remember him having a big game when X finally won at the Pavilion.

There are definitely 3 distinct tiers developing in the Big East right now:

Tier 1 - Marquette, UConn, St. John's
All 3 are going to be going to the NCAA Tournament barring an unforeseen collapse...

What was a close game with a 20-17 DePaul lead got completely blown open with a 28-3 Xavier run in about 12-13 minutes. Also helped that Xavier did a much better job on the glass with DePaul going...

Cintas North 80
DePaul 71

I'm just hoping X didn't peak in October with wins against Dayton and Notre Dame that don't count in the standings.

DePaul has had second half leads against Providence and Seton Hall (not to mention an 18-point lead AT Hall) before promptly peeing down their legs. X would do well not to dig too deep a hole early...

Apparently DePaul is going to be wearing a special "City Connect" powder blue jersey for tomorrow. I believe their students will either be back or in the process of moving back into their dorms.

So what you're saying is that St. Louis has had more NFL teams move away than good coaches.

And Xavier did get swept by a Soderberg-coached team, BTW. That was definitely a lowlight in the 2005-06...

Bonnies actually lost at SLU last night. Basically half the roster from Indiana State that went west is now on top of the A-10.

Elsewhere in the A-10, Bull Shannon's UMass team is about to get a big win at home against Dayton.

And this was after both UConn and Villanova hit their first 13 free throws combined. Granted, 11 of those came from Nova....

Someone has to win on Saturday in Chicago, right?

DePaul has had a 25-point swing in the wrong direction since the beginning of the 2nd half.

It only took them 10 minutes to let an 18-point lead slip down to 1.

Fordham is playing at VCU without fans in the building tonight. The city of Richmond's water system is on the fritz, apparently.

I would be perfectly happy with DePaul wasting all their 3-point energy tonight as opposed to Saturday.

Unless DePaul realizes their best offense is taking crappy shots and getting rebounds at...

Were they filming last night? I get a feeling that a verbal spanking for the players behind closed doors may or not be the best thing for TV.

And this is on the same night where Mick Cronin is...

Just McNeeley as far as I know.

I usually get waved in when I show my parking pass. They've only scanned it a few times from what I remember.

Xavier 78
Red Dawn 74

The Johnnies are in a better postseason spot, yet their only two wins of note this year have come at Providence and at home against New Mexico. A win at Xavier would be their first Quad 1 win of the...

Swain looks like he really, REALLY wants some roadkill tonight.

Georgetown has definitely been the aggressor so far.

Maybe too aggressive with Fielder getting 4 fouls quickly.

Would have been his 100th birthday today.

Xavier 77
The real Bulldog Mascot 72

Epps hasn't played since their win at Seton Hall prior to Christmas break. Not sure if he's going to go tonight.
