Need to go 4-1. Marquette winning would be a huge, but very pleasant surprise.

Long Beach gets UCLA transfer Tyler Lamb back today. Their schedule is ridiculous so they are used to playing good competition. Going to be a tough matchup for Xavier's guards but they shouldn't have an answer for our bigs. I think we'll be fine but I don't think it will be a complete blowout like last week.

Long Beach shoots (and makes) a ton of 3's, which is something Xavier's packline struggles to defend at times. On the other hand, Xavier will have a HUGE size advantage.

Hopefully Marquette can at least keep it close. Any of the other losses would be brutal.

It's always Big East to me when Bill Raftery does a game!

I've really enjoyed the tipoff games on ESPN. Hoping someday fs1 has enough inventory to do something similar.

Since Drake is on the schedule, this is somehow appropriate (if the word appropriate can be used with this video.)

Alright, Georgetown. Take this momentum and run with it.

X looking pretty good.

Slow start for Georgetown.
