The streak lives, Butler still has never won a BET game, courtesy of the Xavier Musketeer.��

Butler sees no value in playing at MSG... NONE!

This win was a good thing for the BE for sure! Butler is solid already.

Well we proved we can beat a 2/3 seed

I went last night from Conn and left at 12:30. This is what I posted last week and am pleasantly surprised how accurate and it is not out of the question that X can beat the winner of Prov vs Creighton. In fact Mack must guard against OVERCONFIDENCE as this week has exceeded expectations.
A small school like this gets one Cinderella year and that may have been last year. I think Malcolm Bernard's interview yesterday should have been a wake up call to beat DePaul twice, show up next Thursday(dare I hope steal one) and either get a 10 seed, play in game or God forbid NIT and man up. The poor defense showing and turnovers go hand in hand(probably 10 of the 50 points in each half were pick 6s) but I have noticed a couple of times when the turnovers resulted in a miss and easy tip in as we did not get back. Little changes may accomplish this and I noticed in the marquette game especially a little defeatism that can be reset now. There is no final 4 and almost no sweet 16 but there is something to play for. Good luck X from a tri state metro NYC father of 2 X students and an long time player, coach and sports dad.
