Check out there schedule: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2752/xavier-musketeers

One common enemy in Cincy who wiped the floor with X. Cincy handled us too. They also barely beat SHU. Otherwise, X really has not played all that tough of a schedule. They don't have a win at UConn or anything close to that. They also did not take care of business in the preseason.

This should be a statement game for MU. X was ranked WAY too high.

I guess the Zags beat us both too.

So....is your point that we should be able to kick Xzvier's butt?

We should be considered more battle tested. That doesn't mean they aren't better than us though.

Every game for every team in a single elimination tournament is a "statement game." They all mean the same thing for everyone: Win or your season's done, period.

Xavier barely beat SHU when Jeremy Hazell was out. Gotta asterisk that win.

MU can beat anybody this year as well as lose to everybody. MU's weakness has been guarding
the three and it seems they do not shoot it to well. Plus MU. If DJO and Crowder are able to knock
down some threes which they will be able to get, plus MU. If you flip those points, and X gets hot
from the three or MU shoots the ball like crap, plus X. So in saying that, it really is a toss-up. If
they play like they played against UConn, they win, play like they did against Louisville, lose.
