Xavier -13

It's a lot of point but I actually like this spread. I saw some of Weber St. and even though they apparently shoot well from the 3 I wasn't too impressed. I think our length will throw them off and our offense should be able to put a lot of points up. I think we cover fairly easily.

I've not had the chance to watch Weber State this season.

Looking over their averages:
Only two guys score in double figures. They might struggle to score against some good defense (always a concern with X).
If our bigs can keep their big Bolomboy in check, we should be fine. He sounds like fairly versatile guy. Nice rebounder.

No Weber player averages even three assists per game. Hopefully this is good sign for X defense playing on the ball more.


Weber State won against some okay teams, but lost to some really bad conference teams. They didn't have a strong schedule, but several of the teams were respectable. And noteable that in most of the losses, the score wasn't too wide. They were in most of these games.

Hard to read without seeing them play, but I get the impression that our size and depth will be a lot for them to handle. They'll fight, but it might not be enough with everyone that can score for Xavier.

Their best win was against Summit League champ South Dakota State - they actually split with the Jackrabbits even though they're not in the same conference. I actually respect good under-the-radar teams that at least try to play home-and-homes against other good middies as well. The only other notable team they played was BYU; also a loss for Weber.

This isn't the first time that Xavier has played the Big Sky champion; X beat Portland State back in 2009 in the 1st round.

should be able to cover this one pretty easy. if Xavier doesnt, than it means they would have played a pretty poor game.

Seems like a lot of points.
