This is the first year since Mack I expected X to win. Thank you Sean and team. Think for a minute how bad it was the past couple of years and how much fun this season was. And then remember, last year these guys rallied to win the NIT with an interim coach, had multiple injuries and still um, gutted up to a 2nd place finish in the BE and a 3 seed/S16 run.

This was the team that brought the program and AMX ( :) ) back.

Let’s go X!

Who is Miller’s best recruit at Xavier? May be best for a different thread but I’m curious to hear answers.

By recruiting services or by career at X?

Is Xville the most hated poster in internet history? Why are you on this site?

I don’t think I have ever seen you post one positive item all year. Fuck off. You must be a joy to be around in real life.

Disappointing end to a really great and memorable season. This team will always be special and I'll miss watching these guys a lot.

I'll give this team that. They will reestablish Xavier culture. Steele really set this program back but despite that these kids made the 2nd weekend. Damn hard to do. Just ask Kansas and Purdue. Now that the culture is reestablished I expect Claude and these frosh to rewrite Xavier history over the next 3-4 years

Great season; bad game. So many points left at the rim that if half had gone in maybe Xavier wins. Texas shot lights out. End of story. Two 1 seeds go out tonight and when the tourney ends, only one team is really happy. So it goes. just wasn’t X’s night. Having Free might have helped but you play the hand you are given. Players have good and bad games. Just doesn’t help when it happens at one time such as tonight. Tonight’s disappointment doesn’t diminish the success of the season.

Congratulations to Coach Miller and players. The comeback win over Kennesaw State will not be forgotten nor will the Sweet Sixteen finish. Thank you, guys!

Jeez, been a minute however he was recruiting to the A10 and the BE is going to be as hot a Hansel next year with Pitino and the bad blood between PCU and GU.

I’d have to say Duncan, Raymond? Kenny was a 4/5 star but don’t quote me.

Edit: Forgot Wells. What might have been….

Well, then it’s clear you aren’t on this site a lot or have trouble paying attention. So, no you can go fuck off
