[stever20]

Xavier with the slow start so far. down by 3 and just looks sluggish.

[marquette]

Butler looking pretty good at the moment. Up 9-7.

[Jet915]

Xavier suffering from letdown, down 15 in second half.

[stever20]

Xavier getting blown out by 20. Butler losing by 14 at halftime. Not the great start to the day for sure.

[stever20]

Xavier loses by 15.

Butler really looking game vs Oklahoma St. 59-53 down by only 6 with 11 to go.

[marquette]

Butler deserves a top 25 spot after this week, whether they win or not.

What the hell happened to Xavier today?

[butlerway]

I doubt I would go that far. Can't really reward them for playing close and losing to OSU without penalizing them for playing close and winning to other teams though. Hopefully they can pull this out and it will be an easy call though. Although they have a tough game tomorrow either way which will factor in.

I doubt they will- thought if they could keep it to a 7 pt margin- and then win vs Memphis/LSU it might be possible.

Yeah, I know voters don't give credit for playing a team close. However, from watching this team over the last week I really like their grit and poise. It could be an early season overreaction on my part but I love what I've seen out of Butler so far.
