Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Two key games tonight:

6:30, Creighton at Georgetown.
8:30, #7 Xavier at #10 Providence.

Winner of Jays-Hoyas moves to 6-2.
First Top-10 matchup in the history of the Dunk (goes back to 73 season).

Xavier -1
Georgetown -4


You'd be a fool to bet on either of these games.

The last time I was this excited for a game was Xavier @ Nova.......Hopefully a better game, and a better outcome for X. Go Muskies!

Two really, really great matchups tonight. I'm going with home teams for both, but expect them to be close until the final buzzer.

I'm backing the Friars tonight!

Some press from the New York Times:

#7 vs # 10 is the type of match-ups that should get the lazier non Big East fans "finding" FS1. The reason it's important to have as many ranked teams as possible. The higher the better. Let's hope it's a great exciting game for those lazy fans (as well as the rest of us) to watch. ......ESPN competition is Georgia/LS (they pay well)U and Florida/Vandy.

Looks like an empty house in DC....

Who has a better shot at snagging a tourney bid? Creighton or Georgetown?
