Until X beats Nova they are and will remain the undisputed top dog of the Now Big East. Has the time come for at least a small chink in top dog armor?

Need monster games for bigs without foul trouble IMO. Find ways to play both bigs and effectively pass out of double teams when they come. Go X

What is with the Xavier fans and their top dog or flagship talk, when they have yet to beat Villanova in a game? It strikes me as similar to their criticism of Dayton's fans.

PC beat Villanova earlier this season, won the BET the year before, finished in the top half of the Big East every year so far, and not a single fan mentioned anything about ships or dogs. Is this an Ohio thing?

It should be a great game, looking forward to watching it, but, if Xavier wins, it means Villanova wins their third straight regular season title by one less game. And that is all it means.
