They were the third best team last year and still won the conference and Big East tournament title.

By what metric were they 3rd best?

They had the 2nd best pomeroy rating……were the highest seeded team in the tournament.

So UConn was better……even though they finished 4 games behind us in the conference and lost 2 out of 3……ok,I can buy that.

But Creighton? Xavier?

I’m not buying that.

Before Freemantle got hurt, Xavier was the best team. They beat UConn twice and Marquette once with Freemantle. UConn won the NCAA tournament.

They were 9-2 in the Big East when he became injured (same record as MU). However, they had a loss against DePaul.We were the better team at that time, and at the end of the season.

Yes. Also, X #23 KenPom heading into first game post-ZF… same time we were #8

With all due respect this is complete nonsense. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Didn't we also beat UConn twice? Beating us by 4 at home isn't the smoking gun that you think it is.

Xavier won two games in NCAA tournament, which was one more than MU did.

[mugrad_89]

Xavier won two games in NCAA tournament, which was one more than MU did.

And?  🙄

[wadesworld]

Princeton was better than Marquette.  Fire Shaka.

[MuMark]

Xavier won two games in NCAA tournament, which was one more than MU did.

And Purdue lost to FDU………so?

Like I said you can certainly argue based on full body of work and analytics that UConn was better……even though MU was 4 games better in conference and won 2 out of 3.

There is no argument for Xavier being better……..Creighton was at least close in the end of season Pomeroy’s…….and went further in the NCAAT………but to judge who,is better we do need to consider the the whole season…….

[MuggsyB]

Xavier won two games in NCAA tournament, which was one more than MU did.

Bilsu,

We won the BEast by two full games.  We won the BEast tournament with tremendous performances against UCONN and X.  Then Tyko got injured and we crapped the bed in the NCAA tournament.  Period.  Michigan St. was not a better team than Purdue just as X was not as good a team as Marquette.  End of discussion. 

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Xavier won two games in NCAA tournament, which was one more than MU did.

[BCHoopster]

MU will finish in the Top 5 in the conference, hope they lose right away in the Big East tourney, then wins 3 or 4 games in the NCAA, that would be a good year!

[Dickthedribbler]

Xavier won two games in NCAA tournament, which was one more than MU did.

Has this been reported anywhere else?

Why haven't we heard more about it?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Top 5? I hope we shoot higher than that. This is a legit final four contender.

[Pepe Sylvia]

Also at least playing on friday in the BET would be my expectation.

[BCHoopster]

Not sold yet if they have enough depth upfront.  I would say that it seems that they have at least 10 solid players with Al being the only question mark

[The Lens]

We're at the point with this administration that Friday night at the Garden should be a given.  Give the alums who bought a plane ticket a couple of good games each year.  No need to win em all though, the Empire State Building has already been Blue + Gold.  Save the trophies for April.
