Xavier

So often, UC plays so poorly against X that the game appears to be a mismatch. UC has to give itself a chance to win by actually competing. I realize beating X this year will be difficult as it is a really good team. But UC must be in the game and playing close so that it has a chance at the upset. As long as UC plays well, I will be satisfied.

yeah it was getting old when the games were basically over in the first 10 minutes because it seemed like we didn't realize a game was going on.

I think you under estimate how intense the Cintas center is on shootout games.
Fifth third arena is tame In comparison.

Zero way to prepare for that kinda environment.

This season might be close but it will mostly be due to the fact that Xavier doesn’t shoot that well compared to Mack’s teams

Agreed. The average UC student/fan doesn't view this game the way the majority of Xavier students/fans view this game.

They literally only have their Bball and there's nothing else to do there. When I was at UC most people didn't even realize the game was happening unless they heard someone else mention it. The xavier campus KNOWS the game is about to go down and get amped. It's like a high school atmosphere where everyone knows everyone, knows everyone's business, and then during games feed off each others collective douchiness and energy. It can make for a raucous environment but there's a reason there have been numerous complaints about their crowd.

We split the games at US Bank.

We won by 15 in the first one.

And Xavier should have never beat us at fifth third in 14-15, gary Clark just happened to make a mistake that usually never happens with him.

If Gary doesn’t foul in that game and we likely win. Which would put UC 5-4 in the last 9 years instead of 4-5



Micks last 9 years vs Xavier: 4-5 (Should be 5-4)
Huggins last 9 years: 3-6


Huggins really started the trend of losing to Xavier. Mick was actually righting the ship and at least getting us to 500 with each team winning at home.
