OT: A-10 All-Conference Team

[wadesworld]

The First-Team All-Atlantic 10 Team had 0 players from Xavier on the team...they won the conference by 3 full games at 14-2 and are the only ranked team in the conference at #12.  They have 6 players who score over 10 points per game.  Stanley Burrell got 3rd Team and Drew Lavender and Josh Duncan got 2nd Team.  That is unbelievable.

That is crazy.  you may have just convinced me to pick them to pull an upset in my bracket.

Haha that's good, I like them because my sister went there and was a senior the year they should've gone to the Final Four but got screwed by the refs against Duke in the Elite Eight.  I'm not sure an upset will be easy to pick them for though, they're going to be a 2 or 3 seed so it'd be to go to the Elite 8 or Final Four...I don't really expect them to get that far.

Xavier is overrated.

Xavier is overrated.

#10 in the AP, #12 in the Coach's, 26-5, 14-2 in A10, wins over then #8 Indiana, vs. Kent State, vs. Creighton, vs. Cincinnati, vs. Kansas State, vs. Virginia, at Auburn, vs. AND at Dayton (once when they were #19), at UMass, vs. St. Joseph's, at Charlotte, vs. Richmond, #9 in RPI, #29 SOS, 6-1 vs. RPI Top 50, no losses outside of the RPI Top 100, 10-4 Road/Neutral, 9-1 in their last 10.

I'm glad you backed up your statement.  You've really proven that Xavier is completely overrated.

Just 1-1 against the top 25, and the one team they beat just lost to Penn State.

Dayton may have held the 19th rank, but they clearly are not 19th best team--not a .500 in the A10.

Beating Virginia (11 ACC losses), Creighton (8 MVC losses), Auburn (12 SEC losses) Kansas State (6 Big 12 losses) and Cincy (10 BE losses) are hardly the makings of a power team.

Frankly, MU has a better resume' than Xavier--we have 3 wins against the top 25 RPI (to Xavier's one).  Our WORST loss was to the #46 RPI team, and only 1 other loss ouside the top 25.  Xavier has four losses to teams ranked between 50 and 100.

While our teams gets ripped by our own fans because we had the audacity to lose more games than we won to teams in the top 25, Xavier gets a pass despite only one win in that range themselves--meanwhile we're supposed to ignore those 4 losses to teams outside the top 50.

It's about time someone around here brought up the fact that this season HASN'T been a suckhole from hell.

True, the doom and gloom has been over-played in the last 10 days.  We have no bad losses from a statistical standpoint...but anyone who has watched a few of our performances against top teams will tell you we got whooped.  Overall, we probably are better than Xavier, but until the NCAA tournament is loaded with sub-RPI 50 teams its hard to argue with the numbers.
