The other two guys picked Alabama, who we annihilated, so that's pretty high praise for Xavier as well.

He named WVU as the most impressive team in the video you posted.

[Wheelhouse]

What's odd is that in the article he picked Xavier as his team of the week but in the video above the article he picked West Virginia. Whatever. I'll take it.

Weird, I only read the article didnt watch the video.

ESPN conspiracy!

[GoMuskies]

WV fans can't read, so it didn't make sense to name them most impressive in the article itself.

(Sorry, easy joke)

Well done! And yes, the door was wide open on that one.

More love from Katz:

Ouch. That one hurt.

Dickie V jumping on the wagon and giving X some praise.. Actually starting to freak me out with ESPN writers coming outta nowhere like this. Not going to lie, his writing isn't the best but I'll take it.

I hope there's no Katz/V jinx out there that I'm not aware of.

[waggy]

All great but Katz doesn't give enough cred to the Skyline Crosstown Throwdown. Best cbb game in the world. FOX has it this year don't they?

[paulxu]

Fox National according to XU's website.

Kats picked X #5 in his power rankings. Along with 4 other BE teams

Katz has us at #5, but the other three guys have us #14-18. Clearly Katz is the smartest one.

[paulxu]

That's strange to me. One guy ranks you #5, and the next closest is #14th.

Something's hinky.

Two other guys have us at 11 and two other have us at 12 just gotta click 1-6 link.

I thought someone said Katz said he accidentally put us at 5 but I might be wrong.

[paulxu]

Gotcha. Still, Katz is the outlier by a bunch.

[Backyard Champ]

Personally, I think most ESPN people suck. I don't put much credit in what Katz, Dickie V, or Lunardi say.

Having said that, I guess getting credit is a good thing.

And Butler beat UC tonight
