Big opportunity for the Fightin' Musketeers in Orlando.

Xavier vs Florida State, 6:10pm.

Xavier looking for their 2nd Sweet-Sixteen in 3 years, playing the Seminoles of the ACC. Of course, this is another road game for the Big East, so it'll be a tough game. Hoping for X to play with a chip on their shoulders and get the W.

There's been no big upset so far in the tourney, we're due. Let's go X!

Florida State reminds me of that high school team where you look at them and say there's no chance we beat them because they're so tall, athletic,and skilled...but they just don't care sometimes and have no interest which is when Xavier needs to strike. Going to come down Xavier's 3 point shooting which hasn't been good all year even though X has shooters. My biggest fear this game is Xavier goes on one of those 4-6 minute droughts and Florida State punishes them for it. To win I think Xavier will need a combined 50 out of Bluiett and Macura sounds crazy but Xavier just won't get much inside with the height of FSU's front line.

Just hoping we can keep it close into the second half and then who knows maybe we steal one. FSU doesn't really shoot the 3 or FT's all that well, but they are crazy big and athletic. Absolutely must limit turnovers though.

O'Mara is schooling FSU giants.

Glad I decided to stick around to watch other BE games. In a crucial stretch, Goodin went out with 3 fouls and Xavier extended its lead. 538 has Xavier at 94%

X putting it on FSU!!!

Xavier (like Mich. St.) making the Sweet 16, not a surprise.

Way to save face for the league, guys. Right now Xavier is playing better than before Sumner injury.

Glad at least one BE decided to show up today. Congrats X, huge win!!!
