I think X wakes up and realizes it has to play 40 minutes of good basketball to beat good teams. This play poorly and get behind teams in the first half trend has to stop. I think X keeps this one relatively close but Nova pulls away late.

Hoping for an upset. I’ll never bet against X.

[bjf123]

I need to calm down before posting a score. Right now, I’d probably put down a 30 point loss. Deep breaths.

More of a hope than a belief. But I can't pick against X in this contest.

I don't predict scores. It gives me too much of a headache. What I will say is, X has had a tendency to fall behind by a lot so far this year. They also had one case where they were up by a lot once and almost lost. If X gets down early against Villanova in Philly, might as well turn that baby off because it won't be good. But, even if they have a big lead, that doesn't mean X won't possibly lose it. Bottom line, I am having a very tough time finding a high probability case where X wins this game.

Consider Nova's fierce comeback against Butler before losing that game, and I believe you made your point about safe leads against Nova.

[Xupergirl]

This will be an incredibly hard game we will most likely not win. But I’m not giving up yet gosh darn it. Villanova barely beat Marquette IN PHILADELPHIA by what was it 9, 10 points? Considering we beat Marquette, and seem to be more skilled over all maybe we could pull it off in the case of some sort of upset. However if we play like we did on Saturday they will crush us. Maybe that loss will open the players eyes that have been blocked by victory. I’m still rooting for them. Let’s go X

Then why are you posting on this thread?

It's a Xavier message board. These "pick the score" threads ain't life and death. I think Nova will win, but I'm not picking Nova. I can't. I consider doing so sacrilegious.

Additional prediction:
Tre and JP both have very good games... Tre gets fouled with a few seconds
left and makes both to put the game away.

Like '87 and others, I have to pick our boys. My keyboard is programmed to do so, because I can't do otherwise and I would be ashamed.

I'm 100% in this camp. It's just a silly "contest" and I'm surprised people take it so seriously, but to each his/her own I guess. X will probably lose but since this is a fan site and I'm a fan...

Xavier has the talent to not only make this a game, but win it. However, we’ve not yet put together a complete 40 minute game on both ends against a quality opponent. My heart says we can do this. My head says V - 86 X - 77

I hope I’m wrong

[bjf123]

Us - 78

Them - 89

Going with head over heart this time.
