Xavier/BYU/OLe Miss winner will make for a tough third round for Baylor.

When Murray state plays someone, anyone we can talk about it. Murray won't even make NYC in the NIT.

3 games in four days is nothing in high schools. Teams do it all the time at that level. You have to win three games in basically 24 hours to win a state title. Corbin and Williamsburg are huge rivals too, so it's disingenuous to act like Corbin will play Clay much harder than they did Williamsburg. At the end of the day Clay was just a tad overrated this year and played to not to lose every game until they did.

They beat South Laurel and Corbin back to back in the district and frankly South Laurel was better than Corbin, plus they beat Clay pretty convincingly. Williamsburg went 4-0 against Corbin this year. Clay made one run the entire game where they out did Williamsburg. Spot in the bracket had absolutely nothing to do with it. Not to mention just last week Barbourville beat Knox Central. Just because Corbin and Knox Central are the "name brands" of the 13th region doesn't mean they were better this year.

Farmer is Clay's biggest asset and biggest liability all wrapped up into one. He can flat shoot it, but frankly did not hustle tonight.

No arena does a good job of separating the fans just in its natural lay out.

Pikeville and Hazard aren't in Williamsburg's district. Just their region.

They don't play either of them in the regular season.... Odd district, Odd year. As the 1 seed they would host all games in the region.

Yes. but Round 2 and 3 would be in Williamsburg next year, which is a slight edge, especially over Pikeville. The bus ride from Pikeville to Williamsburg is a long haul on a Friday afternoon.

It was hard, had to skip work yesterday and hijack a plane. Thankfully I made it home and ditched the plane before my wife noticed.

My understanding is district next year will be Burg, Lynn Camp, Pineville and Harlan. They are opposite Hazard's district but not sure what teams are in it now.

If they win the district and make region finals it will be a good year. They can do that and then se, however that should be the minimum for a successful season.

Not much in the way of starters, but still a big senior class for a single A school next year. A class that has the benefit of an extra season in practice from post season runs, and a class that played tons of snaps last season.

It would be wise to not overlook Williamsburg. They will be rough out the gate, but by playoff time they will be competing with the best.

South students yelling racial slurs all night at burg players. south administrators and adults should be ashamed.

Losing 3 of your last four with what would the. Be an rpi in 40's is not where I'd want to be sitting on selection Sunday. Especially say it's SJU again, with three losses committee might take them instead of X.

Depends on who they play first in NYC, can't have a first game bad loss there either.

The better question is why would anyone like Bama?

UC has an uphill climb to the tourney now in my opinion.

A crowd of 15,000 watch the cats win by 20.

Ross has been great for Ole Miss. Our last AD was hated by the fans, he basically only wanted to talk to the million dollar donors.

One thing about the Charleston Southern game was Ole Miss was missing a few starters for that game. I'm not one to really make excuses at the end of the day it's still a loss, and it's a bad one at best. A horrible one in reality.

I'm not defending Ole Miss at all. I don't understand how in the world they are so high right now. I'll take it, but I don't get it.

At your Dad's age I totally understand that feeling, chair backs are a good thing.

To further back that up playing a lot of good teams and losing doesn't make you a good team. As best I can tell the two best wins for Xavier this year are Cinci and Georgetown. With horrible L's to Creighton, Long Beach St., and Auburn. Xavier Men's College Basketball - Musketeers News, Scores, Videos - College Basketball - ESPN
