One game at a time. Lets get to 4-3 in league play tonite

X -3. I went with the ML. No way I'm going to be pissed about a 1 or 2 point Xavier win!

The thing I like about this season is that absolutely every game matters, if we have any chance at a good seed in the BET and going to the tournament.

Win tonight and we have a huge opportunity on Saturday. I would feel bad for Providence at 1-5, but better them in the cellar than us.

Is Thom Brennaman really calling this game? Has he ever called a college basketball game (or any basketball game) before? I'll be in attendance, so someone will have to give me a review.

Thom called a Xavier game like two weeks ago. Georgetown game, maybe?

I'll be damned. I don't watch the home games on TV.

I don’t know how common it is for him but he also called the shootout in 96 aka the Lenny brown game so it’s definitely not new to him

I see this game (and PC going forward) all about keeping NATE WATSON from going off. We all know that Alpha will get his, but this sophomore Big is starting to look more and more like how Creighton’s Marcus Patton could dominate as a youngster. I feel good that Ty and Zach can neutralize him and we get the big W.
