Cutting Down The Nets On Wednesday

[Snipe]

On Wednesday February 7th Xavier took sole possession of 1st place in the Big East Conference, and we have had sole possession of first place ever since.

With a win on Wednesday, Xavier guarantees itself a share of its first Big East Conference Regular Season Title.

It has been a minute since we cut down the nets in the Cintas on Senior Night.

I think winning the Big East is a great way for our Seniors to go out. Our first taste of it. It is fitting that this crew that has given so much to the program is in a position to do this.

Hope this isn't the kiss of death, because we still have to beat a Providence team that already has beaten us this year. We should have one hell of a crowd. Should we prevail, I think we should cut down the nets.

Smell The Glove of the Big East Champions!

[GIMMFD]

Another bright point in a program that's rolling. I don't think we should cut down the nets though, I think we should keep a focused attitude, and make sure we bring it against DePaul and win the whole damn thing straight up. Let's celebrate our Seniors and the success they've brought to this program from transitioning into the Big East to becoming a heavyweight, but then it's right back to work. Take care of business at Providence and DePaul, take a bit of time to enjoy the ride, and then back to business. This isn't where I want our storyline to end next season, I much rather be cutting some nets down in San Antonio instead.

[xu82]

Focus on the next 4 minutes. The BE means a lot to me, but it doesn’t begin to compare to March Madness. The BE is a vehicle to get us to where we want to be. I don’t want to get sidetracked with distractions. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, but it’s not the Big Prize.



Even if I feel it could be HUGE in recruiting...the lifeblood.

[Emp]

No. Nets are for tourney winners. It would be weirder than snuggies.


Not to mention this is like talking about a no-no in the eighth inning.

[Backyard Champ]

I get Nets are for tourney winners, but I'm pretty sure we cut down nets in some of our A10 regular season home clinchers.

[Xavier]

Cut them down. Big East Champs....no question, that was a goal of Blueitt when he made his decision to come back. I think they have had a ton of battles and deserve to cut it down.

[STL_XUfan]

I remember that at least twice they brought the students onto the floor and had the players cut down the nets on senior night.

[GoMuskies]

Win big and then do it!

[xu82]

Only brought the students out? This could be the focus of an upcoming FBI investigation concerning age discrimination.

[X-band '01]

It's been 7 years since the program has won at least a share of a conference title. If the team wants to cut a net for checking off a goal, I'm all for it.

I also remember Xavier beating Richmond to clinch the regular season one year, but the team didn't cut the net that day because they struggled and survived in that one (and ended up doing the net cutting in their next home game).

Why get ahead of yourself. You should be focusing on the very next possession.

You shouldn't even be reading this thread, you should be focusing on the opening tip.

I would rather cut down the nets in The Cintas, then in Madison Square Garden, then in Omaha, then in San Antonio.

We actually have a tradition of cutting down the nets, we just haven't been able to do so for awhile.

7 years is too long. My kids would have been 9 & 7. I took them out on to the floor.

Today I mentioned cutting down the nets and it took my kid a minute to figure out what it meant. It has been that long. He said it was Tu Holloway's team when he was down on the floor and the team was cutting down the nets. I think 87 took his kid down there too.

I love the fuddy duddy brigade that is against cutting down the nets. "ACT LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THERE!". Bunch of old school hard asses. They don't like when teams rush the court either. Why are those young kids having fun?!?

I would love it if we won on a last second shot and then cut down the nets. Some of the brigade might blow a gasket.

7 years is way too long between conference championships. I think that is the longest drought during my entire tenure as a Xavier fan. I remember cutting down the nets when I was a student. None of our fantastic student body has been a part of such a spectacle. And our student section nowdays blows my class apart. Many of these student come here because of the basketball program. They want to be a part of it.

So none of our students or any of our players for that matter have been able to cut down the nets while at Xavier. Our fantastic, legendary and storied senior class is about to bring home our first Big East Championship. I want this. I want to win the Big East Conference Title. I want them to be Champions. And I want them to cut down the nets. I want them to cut down the nets in Cintas, New York, Omaha and San Antonio. Make the whole world our bitches.

I want photos of us cutting down the nets. I want them on ESPN. Big East Champions. If we win, I want to raise a banner in the Cintas, and I would like it to be raised and unveiled Wednesday Night. I want these young men to leave the Cintas after their last game as Champions, and I want a fitting tribute. Nova plays the late game on the road on Wednesday. Their fans will be watching on TV. During the halftime show I want Nova fans to watch some camera shots of Xavier cutting down the nets as Big East Champions. Smell the glove my friends.

This is a goal that they have worked long and hard for. Celebrating a great achievement is not limiting our season or being satisfied. It is one of many goals, but an important one.

The only thing I DO NOT want is Trevon's number retired on Senior Night. I think it was a mistake when we did it with David West, and it robbed us of having a David West night 5 years later when we put his number in the rafters. Tre's senior night will be emotional enough, don't try to make it better and don't deprive us of a second night for Tre when we bring him back to raise it into the rafters.

[Emp]

One fan's fuddled brigade still thinks Smell the Glove has cachet. It's so hip.

No possible chance of getting waaaaaay ahead of ourselves.

On rubbing it in Nova's nose: Hey! Let's rent a billboard, preferably before the BE tourney, on The Main Line, with us cutting down the nets. Oh wait, they just bitch slapped us again on our home court. Yeah, we own them.

[stammina0721]

That providence game was a fluke. Any line I see in single digits is getting a very large bet

[coasterville95]

I recall the non nett cutting game. I think we clinched on the road. Played awful yet still won at home and Sean Miller was pissed and sent them to he locker room.

I don't like losing to Nova. That game hurt. And yes, I am petty, but I like the thought of Nova fans watching the halftime show and seeing us cut down the nets as Big East Champions. I hope they don't like it.

[waggy]

And then lose at DePaul, right? No sane coach does this.

[xucub]

The hell with the nets. Let's unveil the Big East Champions banner in the rafters. Let the guys see the permanent testament to their accomplishments.

[X Factor]

Haha. Exactly.

[muethibp]

And then lose at DePaul, right? No sane coach does this.

I tend to think this is right. The players being human, there is definitely a non-zero negative effect on the team's hunger for the Saturday road game if the team celebrates the conference title on Wednesday, one where there is still going to be business to handle.

[AviatorX]

Haha. Exactly.

Doesn't change the sentence really, but Tom Crean definitely did something like this.

Tom Crean had them cut down the nets after a loss.

[xuwin]

You are correct. No sane coach would celebrate a win for a co championship when they still have a game to play for the outright championship.

[XUGRAD80]

Please....don’t just don’t. As much as I would dearly love to be a part of a celebration like that, in this case don’t. It would be a classless move. Just discussing it at this point goes against everything this team should be doing. Right now just concentrate on beating Providence, which is in no way a done deal. Once that is done, concentrate on the next game. It is my sincere hope that this season has at least another month to go. Don’t jinx it now by celebrating anything prematurely.

[UCGRAD4X]

I've been going back and forth on this one. I see the argument about being classless - Xavier ASSUMING a win at DePaul. In this league, no win should be taken for granted, especially on the road.

However, maybe Xavier should show some cockiness, they should assume they are going to win the next game. After any given game, win or lose, spend sometime celebrating/reflecting...a short time, but attention should quickly turn to the next opponent with the assumption that they are going to win that next game. ALWAYS!

Maybe it is the cockiness factor that some feel distasteful, even classless, maybe bad karma. I would generally consider myself one of the fuddy-duds that believe in that Paul Brown adage.

Then I think, what would JP do? Talk about cockiness! When we see that from JP, we fuddy-duds may cringe...a little...but we all love that he does that for Xavier. We even cheer it.

Maybe we should emulate that as a team. When is it confidence and when is it cockiness anyway? We all believe in the flagship mentality. X SHOULD be winning the big east. We should expect it. We always have and we always should. If that is cockiness...oh well. Deal with it! Smell the glove!

I would say the other hesitation on my part is the Villanova factor. It does seem just a little bit shallow knowing they spanked us both game. The home game being enormously distasteful and disappointing and a bit of a slap-in-the-face. As far as Villy and the rest of the league, that's on them. They should have taken care of their own business.

This is about winning the LEAGUE - not any particular team. The LEAGUE!!!! - and we definitely took care of our own business and deserve the crown...Villanova be damned.

One more thing, if they beat the Fryers, they are still guaranteed a piece of the crown. And whose to say Villanova doesn't go down again?

Xavier already has the rep - we might as well show it a little. The chances of shaking that rep, especially after JP, is almost nil.

I say (in my best Ronald Reagan voice) MR. MACK....TEAR DOWN THESE NETS!

[GoMuskies]

It doesn't assume a win at DePaul. If Xavier wins Wednesday, we're hanging a Big East championship banner win or lose at DePaul.

[UCGRAD4X]

It doesn't assume a win at DePaul. If Xavier wins Wednesday, we're hanging a Big East championship banner win or lose at DePaul.

I think I said that. We win the crown with a Providence win.

Assuming the win at DePaul, not in the sense that we take it for granted ("no BE game should be taken for granted, especially on the road"), but in the sense that we should have an expectation of winning any given game. I would suspect a good deal if not most of us assume the same.

I thought I made that clear as well. Sorry if I did not.

Maybe the winner of the Southland conference will have to play in the first 4 in Dayton?? That's all I can come up with.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I dont understand people who keep mentioning Nova beating us twice and how we have to show some sort of reverence for Nova/tip toe around how they would feel/what they would think etc. Fuck Nova. We are in 1st place and we are going to win the Big East. We DESERVE it, they do not, despite the fact that they have beat us twice, they couldnt beat the rest of the teams in the league as many times as we did.

Nova.......#1 in the X/Nova "rivalry", #2 in the Big East conference!

[X-band '01]

As long as Xavier and Villanova win on Wednesday, then a potential #1 seed is completely in Xavier's hands with the finale at DePaul. You can't ask for a better scenario than that, so how on earth could the players NOT be hungry for such a game?

[xu82]

Yep, winning the conference is winning the conference. PERIOD.

[GoMuskies]

If they beat us a third time at MSG and we go on to win the national title, I don't think the championship comes with an asterisk to note that we were 0-3 against Nova.

[muskiefan82]

There was no asterisk when X beat them and they won it all

Yep, exactly. In 2014, Creighton destroyed Villanova both times they played them. Does that mean that they weren't the Big East champions? Nonsense. This year, if X wins out, they will be in the same situation as 2014 Nova was, except with just one more loss. It's a round-robin schedule and X will have the best record, beating teams on the road that Nova could not. Even if Xavier loses a game and ties with Villanova, they still got to that record by beating teams that Nova could not, so they would still be champions. A 1 seed in the conference tournament and sole possession of the crown would just be much sweeter.

Last year Senior Night in Villanova was exactly 1 year ago today.

They beat Creighton on 2/25/2017.

This picture is after the game. They already had the hardware ready to go. This picture is on the court after the game as their fans celebrated. T-Shirts and hardware.

This is after they already won a National Championship the year before, but they still celebrate their Big East Conference Championship on Senior Night. You care read it on the shirts, which were pre printed during four minute segments with limited interruptions for TV timeouts to simulate a tournament like atmosphere.

Even after winning three straight regular season titles and a National Championship, Nova was still all about getting busy for another measly Big East Title on Senior Night. How classless! They had some special kids leaving last year. Their fans seemed to love the celebration on YouTube.

We have special kids too, and if we clinch our first Big East Championship I would like to see our kids sent off as Champions, especially those walking the Cintas hardwood for the last time, for they have truly earned it.

It would be a classless move? Spare me the sanctimonious pontification please. Get a grip of yourself.

Winning the Big East Title is the stated goal of this program every year. Winning it for the first time is something I have been waiting years for. Winning Championships and cutting down the nets is what we do. It is what we are all about. I am glad we are getting back to it.

We have a special senior class that deserves it. We have a student fan base that deserves it. Coach Mack has next year, and so do you and I. Those kids need to have their moment. Senior night is always about Boys to Men and Xavier pride. Look at how far these young men have grown and what they have accomplished. Wednesday night we are gonna take Tre, JP and Irish off the court for the last time. I get emotional as hell. I have become so attached to these young men.

Many a fan would like the long goodbye, I am not the only one. If the horn sounds on Wednesday with a win, some of you would like our team to run into the locker room and start preparing for DePaul. Way to be a soulless zombie sucking the marrow out of life. Stop and smell the roses. Clinching our first conference title is a thing. Take a chill pill.


Cutting down the nets after a win on Wednesday would be a very Dayton thing to do.

Yeah, cutting down the nets after clinching our first Big East Conference Title would be a very Dayton thing to do....said nobody else ever, you loveable douchebag.

I realize that Providence has beaten us and plays us tough in Big East play. I realize that we need to concentrate and win the game. For this game, I have decided to leave that up to Coach Mack and the players. I am not even thinking about the next four minutes right now, I apologize. I know I am supposed to be zoned in with a laser focus. And if we lose to Providence I will surely be the one to blame.

With all caveats then aside, I intend to attend on Wednesday night to root for our seniors and the rest of the crew. When we win and clinch the Big East Title I want to celebrate. I want to cut down the nets, put on the Champion T-Shirts, roll out the hardware and raise a banner into the rafters. I want it, I want it now, and I have wanted it for a long time. Come Thursday JP, Tre and Irish will have played their last game and they won't get that opportunity ever again.

Classless? Ha. This board never fails to impress.

[waggy]

Villanova won the conference by 3 games. They had won the conference outright before taking the court against Creighton.

[Snipe]

Well if we lose we shouldn't cut down the nets. Come Wednesday we will have had sole possession of first for three weeks.

If we don't win the Big East Conference we probably shouldn't raise a banner. You might even say my whole scenario is dependent on a victory on Wednesday.

[waggy]

We have a #1 seed on the line, and sole conference championship. No premature ejaculations.

[Snipe]

I will start trying harder sir. You can expect only my best from here on out.

Future replies to this thread will be limited to 4 minute segments.

[waggy]

What a great season the team has had. Looking forward to the finishing touches on this regular season. And then onward. Technically they are only guaranteed 3 more games.

Exactly! But let’s beat Providence first 😉

[paulxu]

What's wrong with being sexy?

[xeus]

I'll back off my UD comment. But my point is just that our work isn't done on Wednesday. Yes, I am aware we technically can clinch at least a share of the league title by beating the Friars. But I don't see the time for celebration to be until Saturday after we finish off DePaul and earn the title outright. Just not my style to break out in celebration until the work is finished. I'd rather wait and celebrate the outright regular season championship, than celebrate "clinching at least a tie" a few days early.

[chico]

Do you think DePaul would mind if we cut down their nets? I mean, there is precedent for this sort of thing.

OK, after spending most of winter in Naples, FL - we are now at RV Resort on Suwanee River. There is a basketball court nearby. If we win Wed vs the Friars (thankful it's not the Flyers still) I will personally cut down the nets at that court and replace them. It's been discussed. The Cintas nets will be cut too!!! Mack wants happy players going to DePaul. Don't let them cut them down, they might decide not to win at DePaul. We are XU, not the NCAA (Nobody Can Allow Anything). Cutting nets to celebrate a conference championship IS ALLOWED. Some of you long time fans might considering cutting some nets somewhere else too! There are hundreds of basketball nets in Cinti & elsewhere. Go to the toy store & cut down a $2 basketball net. What's your net worth?

I remember a "controlled" court storming at Cintas to celebrate a regular season A10 Championship. After the opponent left the court, they opened the gates and the students celebrated on the court with the team before the players cut down the nets. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar situation play out tomorrow night.

[XU '11]

In the 2010-2011 season, Xavier clinched at least a share of the Atlantic 10 regular season championship (our 5th straight) on senior night with a win over Charlotte. They still needed to go on the road to beat St Louis to clinch the title outright. At the game's conclusion, the DID cut down the nets and celebrated the conference championship.

http://goxavier.com/galleries/?gallery=688

Precedent says that yes, if X wins, there will be a post-game celebration.

They absolutely will. If they win tomorrow night they have guaranteed at worse a tie in the Big East. Nets will be coming down.

[pimpinthebox]

- If we storm the court, I'll be disappointed in our fans. That's weak.
- If we cut down the nets, I'll be fine with it, but I would prefer we do it in Chicago (if they let us) once the title is ours and ours alone. Having said that, I have full confidence that Mack would know how to prepare the team to tie up the loose end versus DePaul.
- Cutting down the nets back in Cincy is not an option (logistical nightmare, students on spring break).

Of course, this all assumes we win, but I'm not playing that game. The team knows what is on the line in both games. I'm not worried about that.

[muskiefan82]

In 1982-83 I attended my first Xavier games with my stepdad. They won the MCC and went to their first NCAA tournament since 1963
In 1989-90 I watched my beloved Xavier team advance to their first ever Sweet 16. Yeah, I cried. I'm good with it.
In 1996-97 I watched my beloved Xavier team beat #1 UC while stationed overseas. It actually made the front page of the Stars & Stripes.
In 2003-04 I watched my beloved Xavier team advance to their first Elite 8. I also became a true hater of Coach K and Duke. Forever.
In 2010-11 I traveled to my first NCAA Tournament first round game. This was my first. They lost. I blame myself so I won't go to 1st round games now.
In 2017-18 I purchased my very own set of season tickets as my stepdad couldn't walk enough to go, but I knew I had to keep coming to games.

Every seven years, I have experienced a Xavier first. I believe that I will experience several this year because I am a proud season ticket holder.

Big East Champs and a Final Four to round out a senior class who has been to the 2nd round, the Sweet 16, and the Elite Eight. Surely the basketball gods have some OCD that will make them see that a Final Four is only logical for this group.

[Lamont Sanford]

- If we storm the court, I'll be disappointed in our fans. That's weak.
- If we cut down the nets, I'll be fine with it, but I would prefer we do it in Chicago (if they let us) once the title is ours and ours alone. Having said that, I have full confidence that Mack would know how to prepare the team to tie up the loose end versus DePaul.
- Cutting down the nets back in Cincy is not an option (logistical nightmare, students on spring break).

Of course, this all assumes we win, but I'm not playing that game. The team knows what is on the line in both games. I'm not worried about that.

But will you storm the court???

[pimpinthebox]

But will you storm the court???

Was I not clear?

[American X]

I think we can reach a compromise. Rather than cutting down the nets, hang a giant pinata from the scoreboard over center court.

My initial thought is a Mick Cronin, but it would be too small. I'm thinking an exact replica of Jay Wright's head would be gigantic enough. We will accept other nominations.

[paulxu]

If size is all that's critical, Huggy Bear will fill the bill.

[muskiefan82]

Why not a big door in the middle of the court that the team can symbolically knock down?

[xu koop scoop]

I doubt the team is currently thinking of cutting nets. Sure they are focused on beating a team they lost to already. If the game ends with us winning, the Nets may immediately be thought about. How about letting the Students cut the nets as a change of pace?

[OTRMUSKIE]

Please don’t cut down the nets. If we played the 8:30 game and nova lost beforehand then yes. Are we not allowed to cut down DePaul’s nets? I think it would be a great atmosphere for their fan base to see that. They have had the same nets up for over 30 years.

[xudash]

Whomever here first mentioned that cutting down the nets tonight would be soooooo Daytonesque, you have it 100% correct.

Please do not cut down the nets.

Please don't even think about cutting down the nets.

Please don't even look at them on the way back into the locker room after we seal it tonight and get revenge on Providence.

I get the fun and euphoria thinking and all that, but, sorry, we're Xavier - we don't do small time anymore. It's been a long time since the court stormings at the Gardens.

[94GRAD]

Why would anyone be against the Big East co-champions Tre, JP, and Sean, let alone the rest of Team96, cutting down the net tonight after the culmination of 4 great years?

[GoMuskies]

Whomever here first mentioned that cutting down the nets tonight would be soooooo Daytonesque, you have it 100% correct.


Every time I see this repeated, I feel the need to remind people that we are talking about an activity related to winning a championship. There is absolutely NOTHING Daytonesque associated with winning a championship. With apologies to the Hammer, they NEVER have champions in that locker room!

[xu95]

Virginia is going to cut down the nets after winning the ACC? Does that make them Daytonesque. I see nothing wrong with cutting down the nets after winning a championship (or in this case at worst a co-championship).

Now storming the court is another story. We should not do that until San Antonio.

Didn't they "share" the A10 title last year with about 20 other teams and they got all excited about it?

Your point is perfectly valid with respect to their utter lack of frequency with respect to winning anything.

I'm more focused on the notion of celebrating a "shared" title at this point. The fact that we will be sharing it - possibly - with Nova still means we earned it, but when the clock goes to zeros tonight we will (hopefully/should) still be in shared mode.

Kill DePaul's remaining dreams this weekend, win it outright - even with the *'s that come with two losses to Nova; it is total body of work after all - and let's celebrate then.

I see both sides of the argument. It's a great achievement to even share this conference title, given the prestige and difficulty of the league. We stand to be the program that knocks Nova off the perch, or at least moves them to the side of it. The opportunity exists for a big to-do, as it will take place in the Cintas Center. Our seniors have created a legacy for themselves.

I get all that.

I just believe they're still on their " regular season business trip" even after tonight. Grab the whole thing through the DePaul game and then take a moment to celebrate.

Then go win the damn thing in New York before winning the NCAAT. Why not us.

[muskiefan82]

I say Coach Mack let Tre, JP, and Sean decide once the game is over and victory is secured. Let the seniors decide what they want to do.

[gladdenguy]

After hearing the press conferences yesterday from Mack and the 4 seniors, I have a hard time believing they will be cutting down the nets tonight.
Especially with the banquet to follow. I think they are laser focused on finishing this thing out and claiming it outright.

If Villanova would have played before us and they lost, then we followed and won giving us an outright championship, I could see it happening.
Not under these circumstances.

[markchal]

Have absolutely no issue with it, if we win. Winning a BE title was one of the reasons Tre came back and if they want to celebrate accomplishing that goal in front of the students/fans, I'm 100 percent fine with it.

In fact, these are the most Daytonesque things possibly associated with winning a championship. Now that you forced me to discuss Dayton, I have to go shower in bleach.

[GoMuskies]

I had fun razzing my Wichita State fan friends after WSU won the NIT the following year. Their "fire up" video before starting lineups in 2012 ended with the unfurling of the NIT championship banner, which caused the fans to scream wildly, and a local bank was offering a credit card commemorating the Shockers' "championship season". The jokes wrote themselves. Then in 2013 they went to the Final Four, so I couldn't make fun of them anymore.

Happy to see young folks celebrate. Weren't we in 7th place last year? 7th to 1st is a big jump. It may look somewhat stupid if we don't follow with a win on Saturday. We also want the #1 seed in BE Tourney and the NCAA. Beat DePaul & at least make BE Tourney Finals. That should secure NCAA #1 seed.

Win one in the tournament and we should still be a one seed, assuming DePaul. This is some lovely we do best to enjoy. Very special in the house tonight...

Yeah I thought about it a bunch, and honestly I think it was the right move. Trevon, Sean, and JP busted their ass for us for 4 years, they transitioned us from the A-10 to the Big East, we went from "mid-major" to knocking on the door as a National Power. A class that has combined for over 100 wins gets to celebrate and deserves this on their home court even if it's a Co-Championship at this rate. Coach Mack deserves it for the job he's done in becoming Xavier's overall wins leader, and growing this program, evaluating talent, and coaching circles around opposition over the past few years. This program deserves it. The Big East is nothing to take lightly, and this is much more significant than an A-10 Championship. Celebrate tonight, but it's back to work tomorrow. Unfinished business, but honestly, they're still 18-22 year old guys, they deserve one night to take in what this means to the program, the school, and the Xavier community. I'm 100% okay with this decision.

It was a lot of fun to watch and it was great that they could celebrate being Big East champions on their home court.

And regardless of what happens on Saturday, these guys are champions, plain and simple. Winning on Saturday to secure the 1 seed and to win the conference outright with only three losses, though? That would just be that much sweeter.

I would disagree if we win on Sat. We would win this league by a game. We would have a better record than Nova. Whilst they did spank us twice they also split games against SJU, Butler, Creighton and PC. So they went 4-4 against those four teams and we went 7-1. Imagine how Nova feels.

As I saw someone else not on here or twitter.. Hasn't creighton and butler both swept nova in years nova won the big east? no single game or team makes a big east championship. it is a culmination of 18 games. We have won more than nova. Do I want to beat them head to head? Yes without a doubt. But If i could take a final four while being swept in the regular season by them, so be it

Taking their home court again for the first time after they clinched their first outright A-10 title in school history and edged up a spot in this week’s AP poll, the Rams came out ice cold from the field, missing 25 of their 31 shots in the opening half.

“The other night with the ceremony, I think that we maybe for a couple of days were taking victory laps,” Hurley said. “You can’t do that. You can’t do that in sports, especially when you have a ranking next to your name — with people coming at you hard.”

and


Four nights ago, the Ryan Center was rocking and filled with blue and white — the school’s colors — confetti and streamers and they were cutting down a net, but the Rams were unable to find any success offensively in the second half, too, spoiling their bid for a perfect 16-0 record at home this season

And that is why you don't celebrate early boys. You are all a bunch of pikers. If I didn't know better I would swear this is UDPride.

I was rooting for Nova over Seton Hall last night. We don't need Nova to lose anything. We are going to win this title outright no matter what Jay Wright and Villanova does now.

And truth be told, I wanna be #1 in the nation just for shits and grins.

The way that is going to happen is to run the table and beat Nova at MSG. I really think we could end the season at #1. It would be nice to see.

[pimpinthebox]

Since I went on record yesterday citing that my preference was to not cut the nets down and that the students shouldn't rush the court, I thought I'd join the folks on here who admit that what we experienced in that arena last night was AWESOME.

As mentioned above by a few (most notably GIMMFD who put it very well), this team worked their asses off all year long for this goal and they achieved it. Who are we to question how this team chooses to celebrate? I came home for the rewatch and saw that they cut to the Nova game immediately and, although there are some videos on Twitter and the like, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that NOBODY in that building last night who stuck around would have any problem with the net-cutting and court-rushing. I had a few friends questioning the move last night ("what the hell are they celebrating, they haven't won anything yet) and I did my best to articulate things. Sorry for those who couldn't be there, but you really just had to be there. The looks on the players' faces, coaches', students', fans'...just really cool stuff. Sure, there's meat left on the bone, but as my post indicated yesterday, Mack won't let this team relent on Saturday. (And yes, I was rooting for Nova last night.)

My thoughts exactly. I was thinking, "Should we really be cutting down the nets?"

My answer now is "Yes". Awesome experience.

[TUclutch]

I have never felt like I did last night. My football team has won super bowls, my high school won 5-6 different state championships in my four years playing sports, Xavier has made several elite 8 runs, and won some big games inside Cintas before. Prior to last night, the closest feelings were a shootout or two and then the Nova game a couple years ago. Last night was special. More emotional than I thought it might be. Watching those guys be celebrated before the game, then finishing the game subbing out to ovations(the ref really fucked JPs chance at an ovation) and finally the cutting of the nets. That was a special night and I looked at my family and said we are finally here. There is a TON left to do, but Xavier is finally a national power to be reckoned with.

We've been doing this for years. I'm surprised you aren't familiar with _LH and his antics. Believe me, no one takes him seriously.

[_LH]

No antics. Just the truth that xeus can’t handle.

[GenerationX]

Agreed. Imagine cussing someone out over it. Xeus clearly has issues.

Nice try.

[_LH]

Nice try.

Perfect try, thanks.

He certainly gets worked up over a cuss word. Long life if that’s all it takes to get him so upset

Not really upset. Just think it’s wrong to drop f bombs on a board that kids read. A “senior” moderator should know better.

My fucking kids don't.

My fucking kids don't.

Can we stop with the F bombs. I personally don't care, but my 29 year old daughter reads this sometimes & she uses the word -
but sure doesn't want my grandson to see it. Can't we be above that as XU fans? Old fashioned dignity

I am not a role model.

I am not paid to be a role model.

I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball messageboard.

Parents should be role models.

Just because I am a moderator doesn't mean I should raise your kids.

But, are you available for some occasional babysitting?

You know, when my mother made a similar statement, it gave me a new found respect for that whicked bitch. I think I teared up a little bit.
