Xavier doesnt belong in the tournament. Their resume is no better than MU's.

X-actly!

Do you hear Jess Settles say something like "Theo is the best passing big he's seen in the country". 

Well Theo has almost doubled his assists per game this year, massively improved his FT shooting, and has shot the 3 with deadly accuracy. Some NBA team is going to have a pretty nifty 6-9 PG.

Yeah, that announcer was spewing weird hyperbole all night that anyone that had watched more than one half of an MU game knew was wildly inaccurate.

Yep, it was clearly the announcers first MU game because they were praising Wojo as well.  Theo has had 2 passes this season that did not end up in turnovers and both were today... and the announcer was raving.  Hilarious.

Bob Brainerd is a local guy.  He's done plenty of MU games on lesser broadcasts before.  But Settles was horrific.  He sounded like he was trying to angle for an assistant gig with Wojo.

Bob Brainerd was the Marquette PA announcer in the Crean era.

Now your hyperbole is going in the other direction. Theo's passing has been much improved this year--he's got more assists than Jamal, Greg, or Dawson this year.

Most of his TO's are offensive fouls or getting the ball stripped when attempting to post up.
