So it could all come down for Xavier to Davidson beating Richmond tomorrow.

SMU ahead of Xavier if they lose to Memphis?

I don't think so. real early but up 5-2 right now.

And now comes the hard part... I have to root for Memphis and Duke

Ya, what kind of BS is this...

Is Sean Miller to Xavier a real possibility? That'd be one of the craziest hires in recent years.

Kayako, The vast majority of fans on the Xavier board are screaming for that to happen.

He is a hell of a coach. It was hard for him to leave Xavier the first time around: he passed on Arizona’s first offer and accepted their second offer. He and his wife love Cincinnati. He was just back for a game (UCONN at home) in a private box and he spoke to the team beforehand. He was impressed with all of the improvements to the Cintas Center since he left.

I have no doubt that he would end his career there if he came back. As we all know, the issue is with the amount of dirty laundry that may exist with him. X will not make this move if they can’t get past that issue.

Memphis up 6 on SMU at halftime.

One thing might also be a factor tonight if Va Tech loses to Duke- the MOV. If VT is really close, that's not good news for Xavier.

So Memphis beats SMU.

But SMU probably has picked up an extra Q1 win as Memphis was #31.

Gonna be an interesting decision for sure. I think X over SMU but it's no lock at all.

If the committee is gonna make the decisions tonight, that's still Q2 win for SMU.

Good info dash. Didn't know Miller was still so revered by Xavier fans. He's been on field of 68 quite a bit this season and has been complimentary of the BE conference.

true- though they might take the Memphis being 31 into consideration as well.. It'll be interesting.
