They have a few facts wrong but all in all, good press for X. I would have liked them to add that X dominated each conference leaving the Big East as the next hurdle.

Here were a few of the highlights:

Mack is apparently listed as a hometown kid from Cleveland. Is he still the all-time leading scorer at St. Ignatius?

They also say that Posey sat out his freshman year due to NCAA violations. I didn't realize being a Prop 48 player constituted a violation.

While I absolutely commend Big East Coast Bias for their interest/passion for the Big East (I follow them/read the site), you have to consider the source here. Basically just a group of people regurgitating info they've heard or read with zero/minimal editing or proofing from anyone.

In their defense, Chris Mack is a "native of Cleveland." He was born there - that's listed in his bio on XU's website.
