This generated a little discussion as it appears the backboard light was on before the ball left his fingers.
The replay from behind the basket seemed to indicate it was a good shot. Whatever.
Light, horn, whistle, or clock....Hinkle has never had its timing sh$t together. And still doesn't.

Guess what's coming in spades for Xavier. Forget the other teams that will comprise the new conference, because I get that they'll receive their own significant pub. But Xavier will receive some serious media attention from the winning bidder because it will be one of the bell weather programs in the new conference. Xavier is a keystone to the new conference's success.
Brew, not sure about the rankings side of it, but we've been to the Dance the last 9/10, where Butler has been the last 6/10, and I think they have a total of one more win than X in that period, but I'm not sure about that.
Overall, it was a College Gameday gig. Seriously, I missed it, so I couldn't tell you how it looked or how well it went off.
I have to imagine that the CGD crew will find its way to the CC at some point. It will look a lot more impressive at our place, as compared to holding it in an 80+ year old zeppelin hanger.X A V I E R

X has been building a program since 1983. The team has been very good for a very long time. So much so that people come to expect Xavier to be good year-in-and-year-out. Xavier set the blueprint for teams like them to have good programs. That is true for both Gonzaga and Butler. Having Gameday at Butler is all about ESPN front running like they usually do. That is not to take a shot at Butler, but at ESPN who likes things new and pretty, just like their Sports Center anchors. Butler is new and pretty, but they live in a shanty of a house. However, we had to hear last night about the ambiance, the allure, the history, etc from some chick standing in the top row of the upper level with a freaking snow cone for crying out loud.
Xavier is the gold standard for basketball AND academic excellence for non-big conference teams and will remain so for many years. For people who know basketball, they know it. For the beautiful people who rely on ESPN for their news and what is hot or good, then Butler and Gonzaga will be their pick because of being a media darlings. If not for X, there would be no Butler of Gonzaga as they exist today. There is hype and there is real. Overall, since 1983, Butler and Gonzaga are hype and X is real. All one has to do is look at how many NBA players all three programs have produced and the case for X can be rested right there.Last edited by vee4xu; 01-20-2013 at 03:16 PM.

They went to back to back national title games...out of whatever rinky dink conference they came from...think about that.
You guys act like they haven't done anything. Not only that, they are solid every year, and their kids play above their potential, which speaks volumes of their coach.
They have my respect.
