The bigger issue at this point is continued winning. I think for NCAA tourney purposes a win at Butler would help immensely. One win in the BE tournament would then lock it up in my opinion.

Bad loss last night at Butler, but they drew DePaul at home in the tournament. I think their hopes of a first round NCAA bye is out the window.

It was a rainy night at the match last night. X came frustratingly close in the first half several times. Butler put 2 goals in the net in the last 25 minutes. It was a close game before that.

What does Xavier have to do to even get in the tournament at this point? I mean are we win if we lost to Depaul? I think we would be cutting it pretty damn close.

RPI as of this morning is 45. That's very borderline to get in the tournament.
Beating Notre Dame and Creighton are definitely positives (as is the team's 6-2-1 record away from home), but some of the losses (Providence #61, Virginia Tech #105 and at #176 Lipscomb) will hurt. Lipscomb is in the bottom 50 of the RPI, since there are only 206 programs with men's soccer.
I'd feel a lot better about their chances if they can win at Georgetown on Thursday in the Big East semis.
