First off, i respect Xavier's basketball program. Be careful what you wish for, UK would beat Xavier by 15+ this year and last year. Maybe we meet in the Ncaa T.

Anytime...anywhere.

We don't back down from anyone as you can see by our OOC schedule.

Nice first post though...way to throw down the gauntlet and call out our whole fan base.

[xnatic03]

where is this coming from? We would absolutely love to play UK anytime, anywhere. As good as UK will be this year, I wouldn't count on a 15+ point win against XU. We have one of (if not the) top PG in the country, to go with a stud SG and a stud 7' center plus the depth we didn't have last year. UK will not win a national championship under Calipari if they have to change casts every year. I don't care how good the recruits are. If he couldn't do it with John Wall and Demarcus Cousins (and Patterson, among others), I don't think he will get better overall recruits to win it.

Here's the thing. UK had no pure shooters to go with Wall and Cousins. I think we can agree that last years team was not as talented as Wall's team, but, shooting makes a huge difference.

UK should be very good this year. UK returns three starters and some very good shooters in Lamb-Miller and new editions Kyle Wiltjer and Anthony Davis. UK will start 5 McDonald's All- Americans and bring a senior and McDonald's All- American off the bench.

We are not exactly in the MEAC or MAAC. The SEC's not exactly been a haven for basketball powers lately either. It's been extremely top heavy, much like the A10. If I remember correctly, UD schooled UK back in 97 or 98 when they were in the middle of rebuilding and you guys were in the middle of a 3 year stretch of National Championship appearances.
Your comments don't scream intelligent basketball conversation. The scream trying to hide a condescending attitude towards us, but not hiding it well. Kentucky is a power, we are aware. Congratulations. That doesn't mean Xavier would back down from playing them. Xavier has offered playing UK 3-4 times or more down at UK with only 1 return game, and UK has declined. I know there are games against Louisville and Carolina every year, but what harm could playing a quality opponent 90 miles up the road be?

[OSUMuskie]

I'd take this team against Kentucky, Duke, NC, Louisville, UConn, Kansas, Ohio State, and every other "elite" damn team in the nation! We've got the talent, depth, leadership and experience to go toe-to-toe with any team in the nation this year, and no way in hell would they back down from the national powers! Once March comes and X has a neutral court to showcase this on, that fact will become blatantly obvious.

Dayton beat UK in 99 after the championship. When's the last time the A10 had a final 4 team? Yes, the SEC has been top heavy. However, Florida-LSU and UK have all made the final 4 this decade.

What is the purpose of this thread? We all know Xavier would play UK if UK wasn't afraid to lose to an A-10 team. There is no debate or argument. X would happily schedule UK anytime. Tell Calipari to get in touch with Mario Mercurio when UK decides THEY want a piece of Xavier.

It's easy to declare a 15 point victory when your school won't actually play the other school in question.

[XPS]

Why do you guys feel so threatened by a UK fan? I haven't insulted any posters, just a little friendly smack. By the way, i never said you guys would back down from playing UK.

[nuts4xu]

While playing Kentucky would be good for the fans of the area, we scheduled a true top 10 SEC team this year. We play Vandy on the road in November so we can prepare for the rigors of the Atlantic 14 conference season. Kentucky might prepare us better to play in the SWAC or C-USA, but we needed a better test to ensure we are ready to play a top ranked team.

You should watch that game, and come back to talk to us after we beat one of your conference's best teams.

I doubt Xavier has offered that recently? When is the last time Xavier played one of those one and done "body bag" type of games? Xavier would probably agree to a 1 at Rupp for a 1 downtown type of deal (which would still sort of suck for us), but I can't imagine Xavier taking a 3 for 1 from anyone these days.

I think everyone on this board would love for Xavier and Kentucky to play. With the team that Xavier has this year, I really think it would be a good game. The winner would probably depend on where and when then game is played, especially considering the fact UK tends to be a very talented young team.

That being said, considering that the teams aren't scheduled to play this year, the discussion is really moot. It really is a shame for fans in this area that Kentucky never plays UC or Xavier. It would be perfect for a U.S. bank arena.

UK has more to lose then to gain by playing Xavier and I'll be the first one to admit Xavier has been a better program then UK in the latter Tubby years and Billy G years. Its still early in Cal's tenure at UK. So, maybe their is still hope.

[PMI]

I think it's a shame that this series can't ever happen. Xavier would be a great addition to Kentucky's schedule to help make up for some SOS power that they don't otherwise get in a very vanilla SEC. The SEC is top-heavy like the A10. They're very similar conferences in several regards. Unfortunately, UK would never put themselves in position to lose to Xavier, as way too big a portion of their fan base consists of the mentally inferior and it would cause too big a ruckus. It's seemingly a no-win for them. Sadly, our win over their group of 18 year old semi-pros would eventually mean much less after their season is ultimately considered a forfeit for all of the inevitable sanctions they'll have thrown their way. But for the sake of argument, and entertaining our new friend while he spends his lunch period in the computer lab, I think it would be a very good matchup this season. I mean, this kid has taken the time out of his day to come here in peace and discuss a hypothetical game with mostly college graduates, so we might as well help him with some intellect that he isn't otherwise exposed to.

I think Xavier's experience and leadership are the difference in this game. We have a team full of future college graduates who have been in our system for multiple years and will mature before they go play professional basketball. I think that goes a long way. I think whoever the home team is should be a slight favorite, and at a neutral site, I'll take X in a close one. Rupp Arena is a beautiful place, and one of my favorites, but it is a tough place to win for anyone. However, Xavier has a strict policy of never losing to any SEC team on the road so we'd have no choice but to win. Actually, I'm starting to reconsider this whole thing. SEC road wins are so automatic and cliche by now. Let's find an ACC, Big East, Big Ten, or Big XII road game. Those are the four major conferences in college basketball.

Seriously, if XU did play UK and UK won they would probably have to vacate it anyway. I love how Calamari has been to two final 4s, but really hasn't.

Would be nice to play them but I wouldn't worry too much about what UK is doing right now. It takes the NCAA about 4 years to catch up and they will just like the finally caught up to Tressel.

I read a few remarks in the schedule thread.

Wow. What a rational way to respond.

I think Kentucky is a better team, but they're not scary and they're not unbeatable. They struggled on the road last year, and needed some help against Princeton. Generally speaking, Kentucky is superior in regards to their athleticism, but the teams they struggle against are fundamentally sound and defensively tough. Princeton doesn't have anywhere close to the athletes that Kentucky does, but you struggled against them. Same with Miami OH a few years ago, and Alabama last year, and even to a degree Morehead State a few years ago.

If history is any indicator, you would struggle against Xavier because we're better than Princeton and Miami and would be able to impliment some of that style of play. You would also struggle against Temple and Richmond. Match-up wise, that is far from ideal for UK. I like Xavier's chances against UK than against most other heavyweights for that reason.

First time, long time but this post prompted me to reply. Being a resident of NKY, I cannot stand the arrogance of UK fans.

I seriously doubt UK would beat XU this season at Cintas. I would imagine XU would win against UK this year and last both at home and on a neutral court. Road games are never easy so, I'd fully expect UK to beat XU at Rupp this year and last but it would be a very close and competitive game.

It is true that UK has more to lose than gain by scheduling XU so I don't expect it to ever happen but almost every XU fan would welcome the series with no fear of the opponent.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Agreed that UK would not schedule XU but I believe they have a game with KU this year. I bet KU beats them because Self has his guys playing to a system that includes what a previous poster said in tough defense.

Besides Freshman does UK have any interior play?

The real question is whether Calamari's new Camby and Rose is Anthony Davis and his dad asking for $125k.

You are correct on both counts: We are in a weak conference and our OOC schedule must reflect that by being as challenging as possible. We'd like nothing better than to be in a conference with UK, Duke, Syracuse, Bama, etc... but it's pretty tough when you don't have a BCS football program and a 50,000 - 100,000 seat stadium in which to play your games!

I would love to see X play UK. I went to a borderline third world country to see it happen, and X stepped in the poo bucket worse than LH does. I am owed 1 XU-UK matchup. I am sure the basketball gods will make it happen someday.

[nkymuskie]

I have an interesting view on this topic. I am a Xavier fan first and a UK fan second. I spent the second half of my childhood growing up in Northern Kentucky and most of my friends from high school went to UK. If I had not received the scholarship that I was lucky enough to earn I would be at UK right now.

It would be awesome to see a UK vs X game. If the game is at Rupp UK wins. That place is huge. The couple of times I have been there on student tickets I have been up in the rafters and had to deal with a bunch of annoying hilljacks from southern Kentucky. Rupp gets loud. Hell they shoot fireworks off inside that place during introductions. The homecourt advantage would be too strong in my opinion. Plus the athletes they have are unfortunately superior. TU and Mark would really struggle trying to guard Teague who is taller and faster than both of them. At the 2 we would stand a decent chance at a good matchup with Lamb or Poole. We would not have the height but neither of them are superior to Tu or Mark. At the 3 with Martin and Dez trying to guard Gilchrest would be a tough matchup. Dez would have the strength but not necessarily the height. Gilchrest is likely to be a better all around player than Dez at this point unfortunately (heresy I know and I hate saying it but it's probably true) and Martin is yet to actually play in a game. At the 4/5 we have an advantage with Kenny. They don't have anyone with any real bulk and I think Kenny would be able to push around whoever guards him. At the 4 we would could probably handle Witzjer and maybe Davis between Jeff Travis and Andre. Jeff and Davis are similar players athletically. Davis is a more all around player though. I'd say we lose by about 12-15 points.

If the game is at a "Neutral Site" you might as well call it a home game for UK. The way their fans travel is just insane, especially if the game is in Cincy. There really would be no traveling there for their fans or ours. Their fan base is just quadruple ours at least. Probably lose but the game would be closer 6-10 points.

At Cintas it would be interesting. Cintas would be absolutely nuts and I feel this would be our best chance to get at them. In Cintas I absolutely believe we would have a fair chance to beat them. I think we would win in a nail biter. It would be something I would love to see. We would have an advantage with Kenny physically and the smarts of Tu but other than that unfortunately UK is quite a bit more athletic than us.

[bleedXblue]

UK is the dirtiest program in the country. They have the dirtiest coach in the country. Throw in the rednecks and you have a marriage made in heaven.

It's just a matter of time before Calipari leaves UK and a heap full of trouble in his wake.

He's done it twice. He'll do it again.

You can have your program.

I love Xavier and the way that they have done things.

I love to win and want national championships, but not at the expense of doing things the right way.

[nkymuskie]

Do you think this year's UK team is better than Cal's Memphis team that should have beat KU for the title?

Hmmm that's a tough one. I think this years team definitely has the potential to be better than the 07-08 Memphis team. It just depends if any of their big guys can play defense. They don't have a Joey Dorsey who is a big time rebounder and a very solid defender. Davis and Witzjer are most likely not going to be big time stoppers down low. Jones will be much improved. I don't expect much out of Vargas other than eating minutes. Their guards are going to be filthy between Lamb, Miller, Teague, Gilchrest, and I think Poole will contribute a little also. If they can find a way to keep their 4 big guys fresh they have a chance.

[Backyard Champ]

First off, this thread should be in the smack forum. Secondly, I have a ton of respect for UK, I believe they are and always will be a dangerous tourney team under Cal. They had an awesome defense last year, also it's nice that they backed me up when all year I believed they were one of the best teams in the country.

Speaking of Cal, and I know this isn't going to win me any friends on this board, but I don't think he is as dirty as everyone claims he is. If you think about it, how many times has a school he coached been investigated? If he was at fault, they would have found something. I would have no doubt he and UK are probably under a microscope. If you think NCAA is afraid to go after coaches, they were going to go after Tressel, until he "resigned." My point is, with all the investigations done that involved Cal, you would think they would have found something on HIM, and punish him.

It most defiantly could be a close game, but, i don't consider a 15 point win a blowout.

I defiantly agree.

[MuskiePimp23]

I have an interesting view on this topic. I am a Xavier fan first and a UK fan second. I spent the second half of my childhood growing up in Northern Kentucky and most of my friends from high school went to UK. If I had not received the scholarship that I was lucky enough to earn I would be at UK right now.

It would be awesome to see a UK vs X game. If the game is at Rupp UK wins. That place is huge. The couple of times I have been there on student tickets I have been up in the rafters and had to deal with a bunch of annoying hilljacks from southern Kentucky. Rupp gets loud. Hell they shoot fireworks off inside that place during introductions. The homecourt advantage would be too strong in my opinion. Plus the athletes they have are unfortunately superior. TU and Mark would really struggle trying to guard Teague who is taller and faster than both of them. At the 2 we would stand a decent chance at a good matchup with Lamb or Poole. We would not have the height but neither of them are superior to Tu or Mark. At the 3 with Martin and Dez trying to guard Gilchrest would be a tough matchup. Dez would have the strength but not necessarily the height. Gilchrest is likely to be a better all around player than Dez at this point unfortunately (heresy I know and I hate saying it but it's probably true) and Martin is yet to actually play in a game. At the 4/5 we have an advantage with Kenny. They don't have anyone with any real bulk and I think Kenny would be able to push around whoever guards him. At the 4 we would could probably handle Witzjer and maybe Davis between Jeff Travis and Andre. Jeff and Davis are similar players athletically. Davis is a more all around player though. I'd say we lose by about 12-15 points.

If the game is at a "Neutral Site" you might as well call it a home game for UK. The way their fans travel is just insane, especially if the game is in Cincy. There really would be no traveling there for their fans or ours. Their fan base is just quadruple ours at least. Probably lose but the game would be closer 6-10 points.

At Cintas it would be interesting. Cintas would be absolutely nuts and I feel this would be our best chance to get at them. In Cintas I absolutely believe we would have a fair chance to beat them. I think we would win in a nail biter. It would be something I would love to see. We would have an advantage with Kenny physically and the smarts of Tu but other than that unfortunately UK is quite a bit more athletic than us.

I disagree with a couple points...Not sure what shooting off fireworks in Rupp has to do with anything, but they have done that at the Cintas Center as well...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXuV_A5sAK0

You can't hear it as well in this clip, but it was LOUD...

I disagree if there was a neutral game in Cincinnat at US Bank Arena that UK would have a huge home advantage...That place only seats between 16,500-18,000 for basketball depending on configuration and Xavier would most defininitely be able to fill at least half of those seats and if they split it equally that is what it would be a true "neutral" crowd...

As far as Teague being faster than both Holloway AND Lyons, that is just not true...He may be faster than Holloway, but he is not faster than Lyons...I would actually argue that Lyons is a faster player than Teague...Teague is no John Wall in terms of quickness.

I also don't feel that kentucky has more athleticism at a lot of spots...Jeff Robinson, Travis Taylor, Dez, J-Mart are all very athletic guys...This Xavier team really does have everything...We have size, speed, depth, you name it...We can play with anybody in the country and this team could beat anybody in the country...

I would also argue having been to Rupp, that Cintas is a more intimidating environment with its smaller setting and fans right on top of the court. It would be a huge game at Cintas and our fans would be ridiculously jacked for uk coming to our place...Also at Rupp (like Cintas in the past), I have certainly experienced their "wine and cheese crowd" mentality down there and there are times when that place can get very quiet...This was more so I believe during the Gillespie area than now, but I just feel having been to both places several times, that Cintas is a much better home court advantage than Rupp is.

I think UK would win close at home and Xavier would win close at Cintas...On a neutral court, I honestly think we are a better team and have more experience and depth than uk which would lead to a Xavier victory...I would also take a backcourt any day with a PG like Holloway over a freshman like Teague...Nobody doubts Teague's talent, but Holloway is a stud and his experience as a Senior is not able to be taught to a freshman like Teague.

[XUFan09]

Tu was a 3rd-team All-American, and will be a 1st- or 2nd-team AA this year. John Wall was that good, but I doubt Teague will be. He'll most likely be a stud freshman and I could definitely see him as an all-SEC player, but he won't be as good as Tu.

Homer alert. Folks, UK is a projected top 2 team in the country with unbelievable talent. UK returns 3 starters from last years final 4 team. You guys talk about experience, how can you compete with that? The PG position is not the only important position to consider here. UK's starting 5 will be off the charts. Also, depth is way overrated, UK advanced to the final 4 last year playing 6 guys.

Xavier didn't even win their conference tournament last year and got ousted in the first round by double digits to a Marquette team that got pounded by a UNC team who got beat by UK. You guys get the point.

Xavier will have a nice season. UK will be advancing to final 4's and hopefully beyond.

Come on man. Who's really the one taking things personal here? You came completely out of nowhere and posted a thread on a Xavier Men's Basketball board titled "You guys really want a piece of Kentucky?" What is the argument that I've lost or couldn't come back with? We can argue about the hypothetical matchup all day long and nobody wins. None of this means anything, and this thread has thus turned into a shit-talking contest between a bunch of graduates of an esteemed university, and some internet troll. Yes, I'm suggesting you don't have a life. I may be wrong on that. Maybe you're a CEO of a Fortune 500 company just shooting the shit. But my guess is that if, as a Kentucky fan, you came onto a Xavier basketball massage board in September to talk shit (albeit in a fair and mild manner) about how much better UK is, then I'm probably not all that far off in saying you have no life. If you consider that too personal, then there's probably some truth to it.

As for me, I often openly admit both on this board and in my real life that I spend too much time on this board, mostly during work hours. I probably take Xavier basketball too seriously and have an irrational passion for it. I see all of that for what it is. I still have time to live a perfectly normal life with plenty of hobbies, commitments and other engagements. The day I start spending any of that time trolling around the message boards of an NCAA team that Xavier hasn't even played or agreed to play in my lifetime (save a tournament I believe) is the day I re-evaluate the whole "I know I'm on a message board but I still have a life" thing.

Granted, Butler HAS played in a title game in the last 13 years, so maybe they're actually the higher class trolls......

No offense taken on my end. I'm a smack talker too. I'm not really sure it's possible to offend me on a message board, but if it were to happen, it sure wouldn't be over someone telling me Kentucky is better than Xavier. Maybe try calling me a dayton fan and we'll see how I take that.

Let me be more clear. Matta has had more success at Ohio St then he did at Xavier. I bet a few would be upset about it.

Does that mean Xavier is a stepping stone for coaches and Ohio St and Arizona are better basketball programs then Xavier?
