I thought Pomeroy had us ranked #122?

yeah

We'll go back to the Anaheim style of basketball. Conklin is going to dominate in the paint. Xavier has terrible post play right now. I read their message board and they're all completely down on Frease's play right now. Kwamain has been waiting to have a huge breakout game until now because there is no better guy to do that against than Tu. Cody and Rob will drain 3's. A lot of people are saying that Xavier will be fired up after a big loss. I'm not so sure. They seem completely mentally weak after the brawl. After the brawl, you would have thought they'd be fired up, but they lost their next game by 20 to Oral Roberts. That's excused because Tu, Lyons, and Wells were suspended. After the Oral Roberts loss, you'd think they'd be fired up, but they lost to Long Beach St. They had Tu back for that, but were still missing Lyons so maybe an excuse. After the Long Beach St loss, you'd think they'd be fired up but they lost to Hawaii. :Jimbo Bad Language: Hawaii who's ranked like 300 in rpi. They had Tu and Lyons for that game. Then they beat SIUC by like 9. So you'd think they'd be fired up for a rivalry game against Gonzaga after that terrible stretch, but they lose again. Wells was still out but the excuses are over. Then after losing 4 of 5, you'd think they'd be fired up because they have their whole team back now, but they lose to La Salle. They were down by 20 for a lot of the game, but ended up losing by 10. No excuses there. Now Xavier is playing better than they were during that stretch, but I'm not too worried about them being fired up. And either way, you know our team will be completely fired up and Majerus will have a great gameplan ready. They're mentally weak and if we can get off to a fast start we can really cause them to play out of control.

Last year they were coming off being upset at Charlotte. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/2752/year/2011/xavier-musketeers I do agree with you that Xavier is overly emotional and they'll be fired up for this game, but they aren't very mentally strong so if we can get off to a good start, we could get guys like Tu and Lyons to start throwing up bad shots. I think we'll win by 3. Xavier is really really struggling down low right now and Conklin is due for a big game.

Well I don't want to run into a pissed off Xavier team on Wednesday, but from what we've seen this year, they aren't a very mentally tough team so who knows how they'll react. Still a lot of time to play though.

Temple beats Maryland in a non-conference game earlier today. Xavier plays at Dayton right now on ESPN2 Other games include: Fordham @ St. Bonaventure Rhode Island @ La Salle UMass @ Richmond Charlotte @ George Washington St. Joes @ Penn Other games of note Stanford @ Washington. Stanford is probably a bubble team as of now. New Mexico @ UNLV. Big game for both teams.

It's happening. We just talked about it in a meeting yesterday. Can't remember the date but it's definitely happening. Maybe the Fordham or St. Bonaventure game or something.

i'm rooting for xavier.

Looks like Villanova will win too

Current Scores: 68-55 Xavier over Saint Joes 77-66 Duquesne leads UMass 52 seconds left 83-65 George Washington over Richmond 66-64 Fordham over Rhode Island 76-70 Temple over La Salle 55-54 Charlotte leads Kennesaw St 6:45 left

Current Scores: 39-37 Saint Joes leads Xavier at the half 41-38 Duquesne leads UMass at the half 33-27 George Washington leads Richmond at the half 40-38 Fordham leads Rhode Island at the half 37-33 Temple leads La Salle at the half 18-13 Kennesaw St leads Charlotte 8:31 left in first half 37-28 Villanova leads Seton Hall at half

Not an A10 game, but Villanova hosts Seton Hall tonight. Seton Hall is 15-3 and just outside the top 25. Could be an rpi booster for us

http://ht.ly/8ys2c An interesting read on normally what place a certain amount of wins in conference will get you. Obviously this year could be somewhat of an exception.

I'd say your analysis is pretty dead on. We definitely want the Tuesday off because if 11-5 or 10-6 for some reason doesn't get us a bye, it will at least give us the 5 seed and then we're playing the 12 (probably Fordham or GW) and that won't be a quality win. Much rather get the bye and have a full week to rest and prepare. I'm really hoping we can be on the opposite side of the bracket as Temple because it might take a conference final appearance to secure a bid and if we play Temple before that it will be tough playing in Atlantic City.

949 for his career. His career high for a season is 271 and he already has 261 this season.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Lunardi still has us in as an 11 seed.

Grant (Gus) Gehlen Headed back to the Lou with a road win & we got the day off tomorrow #winning

Great to come away with this win. A lot of us think that RM works them too hard over break so now school is starting again and we have a week until the next game so we can take it a little easier this week and still work on everything. Charlotte won at St. Joes so this was a very good win for us in my opinion. For about 15 minutes we looked like the November team. Being patient, yet aggressive on offense, causing turnovers, hitting open shots, playing our game. Let's just get back to doing that consistently and we'll be tough to beat.

cassity played better offensively. wasn't hitting the 3 but he was much more aggressive. can't believe he couldn't handle that pressure though. great decision by kwamain to inbound that ball after that 3. don't let them set up the press.

we have a week off before the next game. lets do anything and everything we can to work on late game situations

kwamain kept us in it and then the rest stepped up and put it away. outstanding win. won a close game and a road game against a solid team

this is our chance to prove we can close out a game. gotta hit the free throws

this might actually be a good time for kwamain to try to drive in a lot. seriously wouldnt mind seeing barnett in there for us against this zone.

Got these from the Charlotte board. Not sure if they will work. http://apps.ohlulz.com/ncaa/?lulz=rtmp://cp98724.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live&id=uncc_m-baskbl@31401 http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/27925/1/st.-louis--vs--charlotte--live-stream-online.html

@BKunderman Brian Kunderman Bills wearing their home whites on the road today, as it's a "Black Out" at Halton Arena. Maybe we'll play like we're at home. Post any online links if you find them. Prediction: Bills 62 Charlotte 58
