    Hate to say must win, but this game is uuuuuuugggge, Really need this one to give the team a bit of a cushion in terms of a tournament invite. Lose this one, and sound the alarms.

    Gotta keep Watson off the boards as much as possible, and hopefully Duke doesn't go off like he did the last time. They keep them to their averages, X will win.

    Yeah, this one is probably the key game. Win and we're almost definitely getting in. Lose, and it starts to get real tough.

    We need to win, but I don't think it puts us in lock status.

    Xavier is favored by 1.5. Not sure how that is based off they way they have played and the fact that they got really lucky to beat them at home. Here is hoping that Xavier makes shots and can hold their own inside. Can’t let Duke go off.

    Near must win if they lose this they better beat Creighton. The 12-4 record is nice but only Oklahoma is a team that is making the dance for sure that they have a win against.

    Really need to win 3 of the last 4 that is a tall ask for this team with 3 road games and the home game is a team already beat you.

    Friars are 8th in the league in 2pt defense. They’re 1st in the league in 3pt defense. There is your scouting report coach Steele. It’s not rocket science. Go X!
