Also who is this idiot working for ESPN BUBBLE WATCH?
will need to call upon its road-warrior spirit. Games at Butler and St. John's are up next, and even at this late date, this is still a team that could well finish under .500 in conference play. Will the committee focus on the win in Newark at the expense of, say, an 8-10 record in a good but not especially mighty Big East? It might be better not to test the question
Good BIG EAST? Are you kidding me? It’s the #2 ranked conference with 5 ranked teams plus Xavier. Yes they are mighty this year. You know who isn’t mighty? YOUR ACC currently ranked 6th.

Ya history says we arent going to lose to VD. It would be cool to add Trump's face to the lineup though!

That's sort of mixing apples and pork bellies, though, given that the streak is about Dayton's inability to win at Xavier. Unfortunately, they beat us more than a few times during that stretch.
I've got Dayton with 22 wins over Xavier since the Jimmy Carter streak started. I've got Xavier with 45 wins in the same timeframe.Last edited by GoMuskies; 02-10-2020 at 01:18 PM.

I hate to say it, but I think people are really underestimating Dayton. Their offense is good enough that when it's rolling, it doesn't matter what your defense looks like. Their computer numbers are through the roof.
I'll be rooting for them to go cold and suffer a gut wrenching second round loss to a mediocre ACC team.

With one important distinction: when we were in the A10, so was Temple and for one year Butler. When we were in the A10 early on, so was Virginia Tech (not that they accomplished much, but still). The A10 when we were in it actually gave the BE a slight run for a few years. Think in terms of the Xavier and St. Joe's year we both made it to the E8 (their Jameer Nelson years).
I agree that anything can happen in the NCAAT.
But the A10 is a shell of its former self and I believe that to be rather irrefutable.X A V I E R

The A-10 is definitely down. But Dayton is really, really good despite their league. Like Gonzaga. Like San Diego State. I don't mind if we get Dayton, because that means we're in the second round! But we'd rightly be significant dogs. Certainly a game we'd be capable of winning, though.
