Xavier Scout @musketeerreport Feb 12
More
Xavier lost to Villanova yesterday. More importantly, the Musketeers might have lost Trevon Bluiett for a bit.
"Maybe the points will be there. Maybe someone will rise to the occasion and thrive with an expanded opportunity. But, for right now, it's hard to figure out how this Xavier team will score more than 60 points."
It sounds as if Bluiett will sit against us on Wednesday...while that helps tremendously, I believe Xavier will still be a tough out. The temptation is to look ahead to Creighton but this is a win that the Friars absolutely need to get.
I like our chances but I still expect a very close game.

No Sumner or Bluett helps a lot but Xavier is still capable. We need to win this game if we have post season aspirations.

and out of the 4 seed?
That teaser from NCAA is merely marketing hype for the tournament.

6:30 start on Wednesday, which means another late arriving crowd for this one.
None of the remaining 5 games will be easy, Friars just don't play that way. SJU will be extremely tough in MSG.
(Mullins could be going for COY in that game)
After X, Friars go on their second bye break, one week to prepare for the Bluejays in Omaha.
Only focus for me (and I presume the team) is Xavier on Wednesday.....

Win tonight and our improbable post-season hopes move forward...
Is Bluett playing?

Have to imagine that X would state that he's a game time decision.

Win tonight and our improbable post-season hopes move forward... Is Bluett playing? To put this season in perspective, the 15 wins that we have are already more than the average Tim Welsh team achieved over a ten year span. Welsh won 145 games in 10 years. Throw in the fact that 1 season he won 21 and another he won 20 and.... So with arguably Cooley's worse team over 6 years, we are still ahead of where we were in the dark days. ***TW had a tougher challenge in the old Big East, but who cares. |

Xavier's Trevon Bluiett (ankle) is doubtful for tonight's game against Providence, per Chris Mack.
