Xavier

Agreed, Xavier is not a deep team. In their tougher early season games they played 5 guys 30 minutes or more. Only one big came off the bench in the Missouri OT game and that was for just 12 minutes. Only a 25% 3 point shooting team. Which means they will probably hit 50% tonight.

Fool's gold. We had a ton of guys out with injuries. Still have a forward and a guard hurt, but we've got three bigs available still. We're not thin.

They're one of the worst 3 pt shooting teams in D1 this year and also last year. They're not particularly big. Key is to challenge them inside and exploit their lack of depth inside. If guys pitch back out, should get a lot of good looks.

to be specific, our bigs aren't particularly big, but our guards are huge

You have to be the only Xavier fan not in Charleston.

Sadly. we sent a small army down there

Xavier is here IN DROVES! You can’t walk down the street in Charleston and not run into 5-10 of them within the first five minutes.

It’s going to be raucous tonight. There’s a big game feel here.

UConn is well represented but we don’t have the group Xavier has. They and Florida really showed up. We have less but we are loud and rowdy. After us, X and UF I don’t think any other school even knew their team was playing in this tournament. I’ve seen literally one person wearing Miami gear and one person wearing Missouri St. Zero St. Joe’s or Buffalo.

Maybe we’re more employable than Xavier/Florida alums?

There is no evidence that Xavier will be tougher than Florida. Not saying we win but the defeatism after 2 promising wins is just...bizarre.

That’s what the last few years will do to a fan base

Don’t feel like I was off on this one.
