Thought he was a senior as well and we never had to see him again. NOPE.

[Golden Avalanche]

The way he swallows rebounds, Marquette may never face him again.

Sorry if I missed it but I didn't see it posted anywhere.

Myles Davis is leaving Xavier for undisclosed reasons.

If leaving Xavier is cool consider me Myles Davis.

Well done!

Georgetown beat Creighton. St Johns beat Providence. League is tough top to bottom.

Uh oh is that bad for us? The Friars are pissed.

Don't think it matters much either way.  We simply need to play our game and take care of business.

Not really clear how good PC is this year.  They beat Georgetown twice, and Seton Hall at home, but have lost to everyone else so far in BE (including DePaul and now St. John's).    Best win in non-conference was Rhode Island, but also lost to a bad Boston College team.  It seems like they might be down again this year after losing both Dunn and Bentil.  We'll see on Saturday.  But, conference games are always tough, and like glow says, we just need to TCOB.

Great atmosphere  with a ton of students at the Cincy Xavier game.  Tough loss for Xavier.

Had DePaul not missed the free throw at the end of regulation Butler would have also lost to DePaul and St. John's.

Missed that game, but fair point.

st johns backcourt is tough will be a fun game when we play them

Virginia playing Villanova tough ar the Wells Fargo center

[shoothoops]

Capacity crowd. Largest crowd in building history. Nova down most of game 8-12. Struggled from 3 and inside the lane. But they hit 4-5 3's late and they are finding ways to draw fouls to get FT's. Tight late. UVA playing well, a good team. Ty Jerome having a great game for UVA

[shoothoops]

Donte DiVincenzo 0.1 tip in to win it for Villanova. Wow.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Ya quite a game there. Nova looked terrible for most of the game. But got hot the last 10 mins.

[Herman Cain]

Great ending to Villanova game. Have followed the freshman from UVA, Ty Jerome, who made tying shot with 11 seconds ,  for some time. I think he is ready to break out.

[LloydsLegs]

Ms. Legs said crowd was craziest (as well as biggest for a college game) at Wells Fargo in her two years.

[real chili 83]

Great ending.

Congrats to Nova.

[LloydsLegs]

Great ending.

Congrats to Nova.

And good for the conference.  Balances out the Xavier loss to Cincy.

And yes to Real Chili last night, after a wildly unadvisable mixture of beverages all day/night.  Ms Katie's Diner this morning helped to get me back together again.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Looks like Sumner may have just torn up his knee. Looked awful. Straight to the locker room.

Well done, Grasshoper. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I am impressed by neither St. John's nor Xavier. X turning the ball over at will and missing bunny after bunny. St. John's is just streetballing their way to victory.

I can't imagine Sumner has many of these scares left before they shut him down.
