Let's win 3 straight games vs ranked teams to win the title.

I'd be just fine with us beating DePaul or Creighton in the semis and Seton Hall, Marquette or St. John's in the final!

For comparison's sake...

X was a combined 5-3 against the teams in their half of the bracket. It's nice to have St. John's and Villanova on the other side.

Well, if this staff can come up with some Maniacal Master Plan on how to defend Chrabacz (sp) we could make the Final. We've got Mouthbreather Dunham's number.

And 2 of our 3 road wins came from these teams. Looking positive!

This. So great to have the 3 worst matchups for us on the other side of the bracket. Got to beat Butler first though.

Seriously. Dunham has never played well against us that I can remember.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Against Butler, Chrabasz is the main guy for them. If he goes off like at Butler, it is trouble for us. If he is absent I like our chances. Let's not fool ourselves, Butler got absolutely jobbed on that third foul call on Dunham at the Cintas. They can play, they rely on guys who have a lot of experience in their program. This is a tough game, but really a tough one for both teams.

I like how Xavier has been playing though the last few weeks.

We were up 20+ most of the game. Wasn't a factor.

Yeah not to mention Dunham has only averaged 8.5PPG over 6 career games against XU.

[XUFan09]

And Dee was already on the bench in the first half with two fouls, the second of which was when he didn't foul Dunham. Those refs were equal-opportunity miserable.
