NCAA-S16: Xavier v Arizona - Thurs 3/23/2017...

Postby billyjack » Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:12 am

Tonight from San Jose...

Thursday 03/23/2017
Xavier vs Arizona, 9:59pm.

This is a rematch of a 2015 Sweet Sixteen game where X held a 7 point lead with under 10 to play. This past Saturday, Xavier kicked the snot out of Florida State by 25. Arizona meanwhile was locked in a Pier-Six brawl with St Mary’s. X is tough as nails and seems pretty pissed, so beware to any teams that are in their national championship path.

Miller and Mack still close after time together at Xavier - John Marshall, Associated Press - March 23, 2017

Best of luck to Chris Mack and Xavier. I don't like rooting against Archie's brother, but I'll always root for a private school to beat a P5-conference school.

Yes, X has gotten its mojo back in the last 5-6 games. This game is up for grabs. The pundits don't seem to think it'll be close, but X has a great shot at a win in what I expect will be a close game.

X alumnus who basically grew up on the Butler Campus. No conflict tonite. Read all the previews that give us a "snowballs chance". Attack and Finish! GO X! Go Dawgs!

Just tuned in so I missed most of the 1st half. It looks like Xavier gave up a lot of rebounds.

If X can clean up this rebounding situation they have a good chance in the second half. Arizona is getting way too many offensive rebounds right now.

Well, second half just started and Arizona got offensive rebounds on their first two possessions.
