I'm confident in this game. This is a carbon copy of the Butler game. As long as they don't do something like hit over 15 threes then X should win. Creighton has no legit inside game and our advantage down low should carry the day just like it did on Indy.

Thinking exactly like I am. In order to be/stay ranked in Top 5 & ascend to #1 you have to win games like this. Nova at full strength would win this game.
This is truly an in season statement game. Only Virginia seems in our way to a #1 ranking. Doubtful that the BE (or any league) gets two #1 seeds come tourney time. The road to the BE Title is in our players/coaches control. That title would be HUGE & the BE Winner likely to be a #1 seed.

This game will be more difficult given that it will be played at a lot faster tempo than what Butler played. Butler shot well, but they were much more deliberate in terms of running the shot clock down.
By the same token, it would also behoove our bigs to not get in early foul trouble. If Xavier can neutralize guys like Khyri Thomas and Davion Mintz again, I really like their chances to get roadkill.

If Butler beats Nova today & we win too, we then have a full game lead in the loss column.
This is a great day for BE Basketball.

I also thought Butler would be the tougher game for us. Still, with how we've played at home, we could lose any one of the next three games. They are gonna be absolute battles. But, I like what we're bringing to those battles, and am very much looking forward to watching them. I much prefer that than slicing through cupcakes in the AAC. This league is a treat.

Looks like the line has moved from -1.5 to -2.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkGolf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.
