On our layover in Atlanta en route home from Battle4Atlantis we all went our separate ways food to bring back to the gate. I waited for all of them and went last, and I told them I was headed to Arby's and asked if they wanted anything. They all scoffed. I came back with nuggets and curly fries and they were all like "Whoa, what are those?!? They tried both and conceded that they all chose wrong.

This was a scrivener’s error: I had crinkle fries not curly fries.
 
So the Providence Puppies have arrived. I guess they turned their backs on their Franciscan heritage to embrace a mascot less frightening to small children.

I just got home after coaching my last basketball game of the season. Picked up a new bottle of bourbon (Breckinridge Rum Cask aged) as a present to myself. Cooking dinner now, and have the game on TV… Man, looking forward to this tournament so much!

I’m rooting for Butler to win this game. I don’t think Xavier has done enough to deserve an at-large bid, and losing to Butler would put a nail in the coffin. I’m not a Steele fan either.

At this point, if he loses, Travis Steele should probably just walk over to the AD and hand him his resignation letter without saying a word.

I think so. Xavier doesn’t have elite talent per se, but they have high quality talent. From top to bottom it’s better than Butler’s roster.

Xavier shouldn’t be on bubble, they should be comfortably in with their talent level
 
X fans must get so frustrated with Scruggs. He’ll make 2 or 3 plays a game that show first round level talent then he’ll spend the rest of the game either disappearing or making boneheaded plays… as a fifth year senior

x up 1 and they gave Butler a flagrant foul w 3:40 to go
 
Couple huge calls went Xavier's way late in this game, but their dudes have stepped up down the stretch as well. Scruggs hit a sick clutch fadeaway a few minutes ago.

It's good for the league for Xavier to make the tournament, so I'm rooting for them. Let's go!!!

I just think they have a better chance of beating PC
 
I can’t put it in words, but I love watching Paul Scruggs. It’s been great seeing him these last few years and I’ll miss watching and rooting for him! He’s just a baller.

I just disagree. He’s an overrated player imo. He’s a huge part of Xaviers problem

I’ve got DePaul +4.5 in next match. I think they can win this game.

That is a sound decisio. as far as an outright win. That game is a toss up so you might as well take DePaul plus 4.5

There’s a chance we’re both right. I just like the guy, but you also could be right.

Carrying that torch next year will be Colby Jones. Easy kid to root for.

It’s funny, I’ve always thought Butler has been held back by Aaron Thompson.

Jeebus, X can't ice this thing. 0h for last 4 FTs. Choking.

He misses a lot of clutch FTs late in games

Overrated defender and below average offensive player to me. His name has always been bigger than his game.

Swap RJ Cole and Paul Scruggs and you could also swap UConn and Xaviers season
 
X -6.5, they missed 5 of their 6 foul shots in the last minute while up around 4.
 
scruggs just got beat. gonna be CLOSE. Edit - OMG now he just picked up an offensive on their inbounds play!
