Thinks for the overview.

More on rivalries. Niagara @ St. John's is the annual battle of the Vincentians. Then St. John's travels 250 miles to take on "New York's college team" @ Syracuse.

With regard to marquis matchups, Butler & Xavier have the opportunity to add a couple more P5 scalps to the growing collection.

Bill,
Don't forget Rutgers (kind of).

Agree. I thought he'd already mentioned that one. I was just adding to the points he'd raised.
