We have 10 regular season games left. 7 of those 10 games are against teams with a top 50 RPI at this current moment. Of those 7 games 4 are at home. Of those 4 at home 3 are against top 25 RPI teams. We have a great opportunity to pick up some major wins. I love that we are in this conference. It obviously creates more challenges and will result in more losses than we have been used to but it give XU so many opportunities for quality wins.
Funny to think just days ago we had some arguing/implying that staying in the A10 would have been better for our program.
Lets get it done Muskies!

Amen. I love life in the Big East. Screw the A10. One slip-up in that conference is a devastating blow.

Though our conference record (5-4) is not pretty, you could argue the toughest portion of our schedule (@ Nova, @ Providence, @ Georgetown, @ Butler) is behind us. Still, tremendous opportunities ahead for this team.
Love the Big East.

Today on local Washington radio, Tony Kornheiser mentioned the Xavier - GTown game. One of his staffers said that Xavier swept GTown. Kornheiser said that "Well, that means that Xavier is better than GTown" and it was not in a sarcastic manner...in fact he repeated it.

I listen to Kornheiser every day, he has actually brought up GW as being very good regularly this year. I'd say bball talk on that show this year has been %50 Maryland %30 Gtown %15 GW and %5 other.

Not a good night for basketball in the District, because GW also got drubbed...by MOR's favorite program.
