Our Net drop a spot to 40. Likely b/c of the UC loss. At this point, just keep winning..........
As to the UC/UD etc hatred..........the older I get the less vile and contempt I have for the programs. Yep, I guess getting a little soft. I know so many people that have gone to all 3 schools, that it just isn't worth it to me. I want to see my family and friends enjoy winning too. Unless of course we are playing each other.....that's different. As for the fans of the programs.......we ALL have our idiot fans. Lets not act like we are better than anyone else. I think it's ridiculous to cast a stereotype on an entire fan base (unless of course we are talking about UK).
College basketball is the only consistent, winning sport in this region. It's pretty much our only chance to see our teams win and succeed on a consistent basis.Last edited by bleedXblue; 02-20-2020 at 08:40 AM.

It's also crazy that UC has played 4 straight OT games.

I have never had the hate for UD that I have for UC. I dont like UD but I never really hated them. I will never not hate UC. Maybe that stems from growing up in the 90's and every class being one of the 3 kids who cheered for XU over UC and the shit talking even back then and into high school? But I cant stand UC. You know those X fans who want to beat UC but then want UC to win to make the win look good for X? No thanks, I hope UC loses every game every year forever.
I would welcome a home and home series with UD though. Just need to make sure we line the first home game up on a year we are looking strong so we can add at least one more president to the list."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

Okay haha, sorry for the confusion, I was like "what the hell is Brew on right now???" Definitely have a better history since we've left, but I think we can attribute that to how far the A10 has fallen off the cliff. That conference is bad right now, and it's weird to see. However, X was the flagship program, now Dayton doesn't have to worry about X taking recruits from them (because we're going after much bigger fish these days), so they can fill out their roster with the guys that they want, that maybe in A10 years would have passed on Dayton for Xavier. I can understand how they have a better resume so to speak now.

Who cares about NET, but Xavier is up to #31 in Sagarin, including a very nice #15 in his "Recent" rankings.

I don't think the A10 has really fallen off. Since it (perhaps foolishly) decided to go out to 14 teams, the overall conference rankings (usually between 7th and 10th), the number of teams in the top 25 (usually 1), and the number of teams making the NCAA Tournament (usually 2-3) is pretty much the same. And....Fordham still sucks. So, everything is pretty much the way it was before.
I think Dayton FINALLY figured something out. There is simply no excuse to not win there. In fact, it should be easier to win there than the vast majority of div1 schools. They have twice the resources and spend twice the money as the rest of the A10. Hell, the last time I checked they were routinely spending more than Xavier. If you can't dominate a conference that consists of teams that spend half of what you do, then you just REALLY suck. Any coach that's at least decent should be able to win there and make it to the NCAA Tournament almost all the time. Now, I'm not saying they should be ranked in the top 5 all of the time, but they should absolutely be expected to dominate that conference. For all the years we were in the A10 it was PITIFUL that UD was not better than what they were. Other than Xavier, they should have been able to outperform everyone else. Yet, then never did. And yet, they never made a coaching change. I never thought of Archie Miller as a great coach. Decent for sure, and maybe even good. He was able to win at Dayton, but any decent coach should be able to do that.Last edited by xubrew; 02-20-2020 at 03:37 PM.
