    X will be a 5.5 point favorite

    I'll predict X will be favored by 3.5. Maybe as high as -4.5, like Baylor. BJ's line might seem a little high...but X covered a 4.5 line against a Baylor team that had been tested much more so than UC. If it's -5.5 and it stays there, I'm all over X because a 5.5 line will get a lot of UC money. If it starts and stays at 5.5, Vegas is on XU.

    Most if not all pundits, rankings, computer ratings, and I would assume casinos consider UC > Baylor. So the line should be lower than -4.5.

    Screw a line. Screw UC, let's blast their asses by 20. I hope we absolutely punish them.

    I've learned so many life lessons from this rivalry over the years.

    Including this ...

    This is going to be fun.

    UC hasn't played any one (though Wyoming is technically a top 100 team) So advantage has to be with Xavier if this game gets tight late.

    I fully expect XU to jump out to a 20-5 lead or something. We always jump on big teams early at Cintas. But they will make a run and bring it close but I fully expect to win by 10+

    And 10+ doesn't even make us the far better team, its just we are hard to beat in our gym and UC plays terrible here.


    The matchups in this game are really interesting. Neither team can give any single player too much attention because scoring can come from all 5 spots. UC's starting lineup is full of guys who could drop 20 on any given night.

    I took an X friend home for Thanksgiving once. He was kind enough to roll the window down in an attempt to blow a torrent of used alcohol out the window (mostly onto the outside of the door, I’m sure), but somehow he magically seemed to get most of it into the crack where the window went down. It was a surgical puke! Like he had a funnel. A car wash wasn’t helping that....the stink just would NOT go away! My wife’s family traded in a car for less than that. I’m not allowed to name a dog Bailey because a little red headed girl puked in their car and they couldn’t get the stench out. Time for a new car! Inside the door stays with you, with no shot at cleaning it up.

    Ahhh, good times.....
