Chris Mack on Xavier's NCAA chances and BE vs A10

Yeah, the composite is really good, actually. It's a wisdom of the crowd type of thing.

Could the NCAA put UD vs XU in play in game? They are very similar teams

The NCAA has already said that yes, Dayton will play at UD if they are one of play in teams. So the dots could connect UD and X at UD.

I actually think if they both are in the PIG, the NCAA would actually match them up on purpose quite possibly- thinking that a lot of Xavier fans would go to kind of limit the home court advantage to some degree....

Makes sense, actually. That's a high-risk-high-reward situation for Xavier fans. They could beat Dayton at UD Arena, ending their hopes of a tournament run at the very beginning. Or, they could lose to UD...which is really unappetizing.

Remember GT crushed VCU.

A 4 point loss in the first three weeks of the season? You call that crushing another team?

But the stars aren't going to line up. If UD wins today they won't be in PIG. If UD and X win today there are 10 other games today impacting their seeding. UD goes in to the day higher in almost every bracket out there, of course playing Fordham will be an RPI hit but with as many games impacting like teams today that is going to be a small part of the day's movement. Likewise for X, if they beat MU I think they're in above PIG line just too many teams playing today with like resumes many of them against one and I'm sure there will be upsets today knocking teams well off the bubble and both Dayton and X fit that profile although MU beating X today could hardly be considered an upset as it will likely tip as a pk.
