    Overlooked Big East Day during the hoopla of last week. Despite the current gnashing of teeth, it appears the Big East has been a good move for Xavier, coming off a season with the program's highest poll rankings and tournament seed ever.

    Belonging to conference with three members winning regular season invitational AND being one of those winners, 2 or 3 elite teams, over half the conference competing for a tournament bid. Pretty amazing situation for Xavier.

    Ankle biting with George Washington vs. Slugfests with Georgetown.

    This year it's sort of ankle-biting from Georgetown, but that sure beats the hell out of ankle-biting from GW!

    You do realize GW is in the A-10 cellar with Fordham, right? They're much worse than the Hoyas this year.

    Georgetown's biggest problem this year was playing a noncon schedule that was the worst in Division I at one point.

    Yes, if you read my post (it's in English afterall), it's not unclear that it's much better to have ankles bitten by Georgetown than by GW.

    Enjoyed reading this thread again.

    Thanks for bringing it back.

    Man who would have thought GW was a better program than Georgetown?
