They almost lose to Marquette. A team that we dominated. I would love for us to play them in the tourney.
Xavier is Overrated

There are several teams ranked above us I'd love to play and several ranked below that I would hate to play ... oddness rules
Xavier is good they play a lot of close ones , always pull it off. While maybe a tad overrated right now , they’re no cupcake.
I wouldn't fall into the trap of comparing our game vs. one team and comparing another team's game vs. that team and/or watching one game and drawing a conclusion.
If you watched our game against Northwestern, Western Kentucky, Tennessee...you probably wouldn't be impressed by Purdue and intimidated to play them.
I saw the last 4 mins of the Xavier game as it matched the halftime of the Arizona game. Number 0 on Marquette, one of their guards that was very hot from 3 when we played them had 3 easy layups in a 3 minute span and each was blocked. He makes even two of them and MU wins. MU blew it.

I watched also. I live in Cincinnati. Xavier does not have a bad game often. MU did not execute in the last minutes. The 1 guard was hot as usual and kept MU in the game. I do not think Xavier could handle our twin towers. Butler pulled out a nice win against Georgetown.
Seeing the Butler/Georgetown game did not instill confidence in our win against Butler. Georgetown is not good - don't let their record fool you, it's a joke. Butler was lucky to get a win, that would have been a bad loss.
I'll get some tips from Grayson Allen on the best way to bring down a big guy.
Almost lost to DePaul! Come on man! DePaul hasn't been good for almost two decades! No way they should be ranked 6th.
