Wondering if Xavier is regretting Myles Davis not returning?

If Xavier only beat DePaul it's going to be a long wait till selection Sunday

The schedule couldn't have worked out worse for them at a time when injuries hit. No relief at home, because the two games were against the 2 best teams in the conference. Three games vs bubble teams, but all on the road. Marquette at home is a step down in difficulty from the last 5 games. They would do well to right the ship on Wednesday. Losing can become contagious. You really don't want to go to Chicago with your season on the line.

Myles was suspended the first semester of the season and returned at the beginning of the second semester. A week or two later he broke a zero tolerance policy and was kicked off. The only regret Xavier might have is letting him back and taking away from Goodin and Bernard. Of course they would want back their third leading scorer from the past two years but the only one regretting things is Myles.

7 teams in the latest Bracketology. Three in Dayton. That would be pretty wild.

As a side note, Lunardi is a tool for moving us down.

Lunardi is a tool. Period. Who cares what he thinks?

Can teams in the same conference play each other in the first four games?

No.

Is this your opinion or fact?

Surprised that Lunardi would make that mistake.

Can teams in the same conference play each other in the first four games?

Yes, but I wouldn't worry about it actually happening. It used to be that the last 4 "at-large" teams were automatically sent packing to Dayton. But now the committee has a few new abilities in the toolbox, one of which is to switch an 11th seed in the first four (in this case Marq or Seton Hall) with another 11th seed in the main bracket. This rule change happened right after Dayton got placed in Dayton, so just connect the dots yourself.
