It's the matchups that make it interesting whenever these 2 teams meet.

Agree. Sumner gave us some fits at the Cintas last year with his ability to drive. Arch and Brunson couldn't keep Him in front of them. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bridges on ES for long spells tonight. He bothered Mo Watson a bit with his length on D. I think I'd prefer to move Brunson to Blueitt as he is not the same level of athlete as Sumner. Who guards Hart? Macura?

X will most likely guard this way; however, they will switch on screens.

Sumner - Brunson
Macura - Bridges
Bluiett- Jenkins
Bernard - Hart
Gaston - Reynolds

Unless, Mack decides that X can beat Nova by playing this way:

Myles Davis - Brunson
Myles Davis - Bridges
Myles Davis - Jenkins
Myles Davis - Hart
Myles Davis - Reynolds

But this would just piss off all of the Butler fans :lol: :lol: :lol:

Xavier is probably going to want to improve upon its one win vs a Tournament team before Selection Sunday, so good luck to all.
