JT3 and Jay Wright

Stainbrook and Reynolds had 35 points and 12 rebounds between them. GSU had 12 rebounds total as a team. As I said, Xavier advanced because of their Bigs.  I wonder if Baylor could say the same?  Hunter is a first rounder, btw.  No Xavier guard outplayed him.

I think you can move on with your guard play if they make shots...it's always nice to have a Big who you can dump it down low into when your offense is tight or your struggling on the perimeter.

Their bigs played good.  Not saying they didn't or that it's not their strength.  Pointing out Baylor means nothing, because there are ways you can point to any team.  Witchita State is very small. They advanced over a 2 seed.  Yes, Xavier's big are the strength of their team, and that strength helped them win.  Would they have beat Witchita, whose strength is guard play?  Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it.

JT3 and Wright could get bounced from the tournament in the opening weekend every year and never be fired. As long as they make the tournament, they are good

Yep.  There are probably fewer than a dozen programs nationally where it isn't good enough to keep a job.  None are in our conference.

Since 2010 MU has more wins in the tournament than Villanofun and G'town combined. I'm expecting that number to increase next year too.
