Rooting for Xavier to not put themselves on the wrong side of the bubble and St John's to keep Anderson's winning season streak alive.

yeah, while tonight would end it, even with a win tonight, Xavier would not be out of the woods. I think only thing that would clinch things for Xavier is beating Nova tomorrow.

For what it's worth, it sounds like Paul Reed is going to try to play tonight.

I figured the sitting out towards the end of the season was so he could be as close to 100% as possible for tourney, seeing as thats their last hope at the big tourney.

Why would you do that for Bogg? If your a fan of the Big East you should want as many of our teams in the Big Dance as possible. Just curious here.

If you mean what I think you mean, you may want to take a closer look at what I wrote. If Xavier drops their game tonight there's a good chance they wind up just outside the tournament field. I'm rooting for that to not happen.

I think it's almost a lock that if Xavier loses tonight, they're out of the tournament.

What Bogg said was 100% correct.
