We win by 10 and this gets us rolling into March.
This is my Hope, Prayer and Wish. You really never know in this game, it wouldn't be surprising to see either team win by 20 or go into OT. |

I expect a large X victory as well. Xavier sucks at defense but is good on offense and especially lately, UC has had huge gaps in their defense. Xavier will exploit this. Plus, even though Xavier's defense sucks, it really doesn't matter when the team you are guarding can't shoot worth a lick and plays at such a slow tempo. Maybe, just maybe, if UC can actually make open shots, then they will have a good chance.

I will never pick against UC in this game. Ever. I don't care how pessimistic or "realistic" you are you do not pick X over UC.

For sure. Our rebounding has been really bad lately but it will be put to the test Wednesday. Reynolds/Clark matchup worries me because of the size difference. He is much bigger than Clark and will have a mental advantage over him too. UC is going to have to play with an urgency and aggressiveness we haven't seen yet.

We may lose the game, I simply will never pick that, but let's be real. People are making it sound like X is a machine. This team has played better teams this season and won. I don't get all the blow out talk.
