I had Xavier/Creighton on my laptop while watching the UConn game. There is just a bad vibe with Xavier, like it feels the players don't like each other. I have felt the guards take bad shots and just play kind of selfish a lot. There was a play with about 9 minutes left while Conwell tried a low percentage post up spin against Kalkbrenner and missed, flopping to the ground pretending to be hurt. Creighton goes into the break. Ashworth attempts a 3 with Conwell way behind the play, misses, and Traudt gets the rebound and puts it back because Conwell never got back on D after getting embarrassed attempting a stupid move.

I feel like there are a few of these possessions every game with Xavier. That may explain why a team as talented as Xavier looks like it will be the favorite to win the Crown tournament rather than playing in the NCAA Tournament.

Matta is not working out at Butler. I don’t feel like the talent is that bad at Butler for this record, and there are a lot of close losses.
