Game Thread: Xavier v Washington (11/17/2023)

[BandAid]

Formula 1 is running a night race in Vegas this weekend as well. They might not be able to sleep even if they wanted to...

Too high end. I understand the players are staying at the OYO (for those who are less Vegas-obsessed than me, that's the former Hooter's Casino) and will walk from the hotel to the arena.

It’s probably been 8-9 years since I’ve been to Vegas and I think it was still hooters at that time. All I remember was that place being a complete dump but they had cheap blackjack.

There’s something weird about them staying at a casino… you’d think they’d stay at a hotel without one. I know that’s slim pickings but still.

The team stayed at the Encore last time when they played in the Continental Tire tournament over thanksgiving. the Encore is swanky.

I can’t imagine the headache going to Vegas right now with F1 in town as well. Good luck to all Xavierhoops.com members who have made the trip to watch the muskies play. Hopefully F1 doesn’t ruin your trip.

Pretty excited for this one. First real test where we actually have a chance to win. We really start finding out what we've got late Friday night. Hopefully MOR and MHettel can pull us through! And hopefully any Xavier fans who stay at the Strat survive long enough to make it to the game!

We had a chance against Purdue. We didn't play all that well.

Watch out for race cars.

Odds to win the event.

Saint Mary's +145
SD St. +185
Xavier +380
Washington +600

I guess we started out on the right side of the bracket. 2 weeks ago I got X at +475 so I guess we have impressed!

These early season tournaments rarely go chalk.

as dumpy as it is, I'm staying at the Excaliber. Its about as close to the arena as any other place on the strip. If the strip is just ruined, at least I can avoid it mostly.

Crap. Bad date in title. Should say 11/17/23.
Unable to edit. Maybe a mod could correct.

I need someone who understands the space/time continuum to advise me on when to do the Game Day Boob Drop.

Double dip ?

X -2.5

Probably about right. Go X!
