Message: [QUOTE="RayIsTheGOAT, post: 4471857, member: 6090"] I agree that of the BE teams, Xavier has the best shot to get us, with Marquette and Nova tied for 2nd. Creighton I have no idea at this point. Xavier has the 2nd highest 3p% in the country, so they are capable of having one of those games where they go off from 3 and keep it close with us or even nick us at home. However, our defense is just too good. We are 12th in the country for 3p% defense. We can turn them over a bit and outrebound them, and we could easily put up 80+ on their defense. They're going to need Nunge/Freemantle to at least negate our frontline's production in addition to the rest of the squad making a bunch of 3s. If we're at relatively full strength (and have Samson back by 12/31), we're just a handful for even them. It's really amazing how many things have to go wrong for us to lose a game right now. [/QUOTE]
