    I have zero expectations that Xavier can play a quality game, but deflating Butler's aspirations in Madison Square Garden would be pure joy.

    It seems Xavier fans want Butler to play how Xavier usually played in the A-10 tournament - bid secure, less than fully interested in winning, more interested in getting a nice rest.

    Yeah, I do not have a great feeling going into this. Just trying to start with the correct mindset so I can be pleasantly surprised, but not crushed.

    Amex! Sorry, I forgot to put the thread up with my lego guy.

    Hope I didn't jinx it.

    Good to see Johnson and Raftery on the call tonight.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Rashid has to finish down low. Defense looks active so far. I'm really worried about foul trouble as usual.

    So far he's got a turnover, a missed bunny and got smoked on the baseline leaving jp to get dunked on. How can someone that big play so timid

    How is Martin throwing ball against the base of basket any different than O'Mara punching ball in air. One was a tech, one no call...
