Noooooo, not villanova v Temple. Poor Temple sucks these days.

Xavier v Cincy. Or so says fox sports.

Fox sports is the best.

Hope the refs don't turn it into a foulfest. Let 'em play. What's the O/U on T's? :roll:

I fully expect Cintas to be as loud as its ever been. Only 1 player on UC's roster(Ellis) has ever played in Cintas. There will be hard fouls and there will be technicals it happens every year. You just can't let those emotions take over the game.

I hate to admit this because I have spent many years as a butler fan, hating Xavier. Hell, as a kid attending Butler basketball camp, while Xavier was still in the MCC, I remember campers were instructed to bark and growl like Bulldogs whenever someone said the word Xavier. But in the past several years I have grown to respect Xavier as long as we aren't playing you guys and water fountains aren't being pulled off walls. I really enjoy watching the players you have on your team now and I love watching you beat Cincy. There is just nothing likable about UC so I look forward to you guys pounding them.

Personally I never liked Cincinnati, didn't even root for them back then despite them being in the BEast but I thought those were some of the most stupid comments by Holloway and Lyons that I've ever heard in like any post game interview ever. Like they're acting like a bunch of tough thugs because what you had a bench clearing push fest playing a game that is no longer physical... also for the record Yancy Gates punch like a dumb a$$ and Kenny Frease should've seen that coming a mile away. I generally rooted for X but that was one team whose season I'm very happy MU got to end.
