The Holy Land of Hoops

Xavier will contribute nicely to the Big East moving forward. It worked for three decades to put itself in a place that led the C7 to invite it into the club.

I seriously doubt any regrets will occur over that decision from here: http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/xavier-head-coach-chris-mack-may-have-perfect-marriage-111813

I think an even better one:

I really like his story.

Kind of tough to seeing JT3 or Buzz coaching a 3rd grade girls hoops team isn't it?

Mike Rice would be harder to picture. Although, the video would be worth money later.

I mean seriously... can you imagine walking into a grade school gym being the only dad who would volunteer to coach, and seeing who you are up against?

lol yeah. Of course, being 3rd grade kind of is an equalizer if you know what I mean.... The girl who made the ft to win the game made the final 9-8 in 2 ot.

I've coached a game with sudden death basketball- had about a minute of time probably in the session- it was one of the most exciting things I ever coached.

This was a great article. Lots of insights as to why Xavier is playing as well as they are in a season with lowered expectations and no David Wests on the roster. Thanks for posting it!
