I can't believe we gave this middling bottom feeder a gift last time out. Merry Belated Christmas to the weenies on the PC board.

We cruise easily tonight and probably win the next 100 games in the series.

T-Minus 13 minutes and counting before some Friar pud posts this over on their UConn obsessed board. Is John_from_Italy still alive? I hope not.

Cole went unconscious last time outand we still almost gave the game away in the last few minutes. Hope you guys are right but we better play well.

Xavier is better than PC. Home game vs road game. I also think the UConn guys thought they would have James and didn't. They started that game looking like somebody ran over their dog. I think they have mentally turned the corner.

I love how you come up with these random numbers - "We will beat PC by 1000", "Probably win next 100 games in the series" (Uh, PC is 6-4 against UConn over last 10 games, don't get angry it's just a fact) "T-Minus 13 minutes, etc" ...where do you come up with these numbers??

I gave this a thumbs up because I love the sentiment and for use of the word "pud". That is an underutilized slur. Well done!

Xavier sucks honestly, losing to them at Xavier is one of our worst losses of the year. There is Nova, Creighton and SHU, the rest are all battling for one maybe two spots. Xavier will not end up with one of them. I'm going to just go off the premise that you have seen them play once this year and that was this weekend.

Easy.

I originally thought we'd beat them by 1,000,000, then when I crunched the numbers, I found that would almost be physically impossible to do unless PC started scoring in our basket from time to time and I think that's not likely to happen more than a few times per half.

Winning the next 100 games? 2 games a year plus a postseason here or there when PC actually advances past the opening round of a tourney brings us ~40 years or so into the future. I expect basketball may morph into something different by then and didn't want to overstep myself predicting more than that.

Sorry @FriarJ , math checks out
 
Really depends on the start of the game. If we come out slow like this group has been accustomed to do from time to time, I think it's a dog fight. If we come out strong and fixated on running and breaking the PC press with intent to score, it's over by halftime.

You don't think getting blown out by Indiana or Stanford are bad losses? Losing to Butler is better than Xavier? Marquette and Georgetown are also bad losses. You'd rather lose to Xavier than Georgetown?

They just have so many bad losses to choose from. How to pick just one?

UConn has but one bad loss, and what a pathetic, embarrassing loss it is!

Do you not understand what the words "one of" mean? We did not play Stanford, we played Alabama. We are not a good team. Xavier is worse. If you lose again to us you are not a very good team either.

Kenpom has Xavier at 52. That's after losing at home to UConn. They are 11-3. Why do you think they suck? I think you're confusing them with Butler. Providence is KenPom 71. 11-10. Do you think Xavier will lose 7 straight?

I'm not confusing them with anyone. I have watched them a bunch. I will be shocked if they finish higher than 7th. I only care about the BE. You and SJU should battle for the 4th spot and we will probably finish 6th. Of course if you guys suck today then we might finish above you in the standings.
