watched him a bit on Friday night. A more talented offensively Manute Bol. Charleston was scared to death of him. Nova won't be.

Do think Johnny Dawkins was a great hire for UCF.

Too bad the finals for X and Nova didn't turn out better.

Well for Nova, this was the tourney. their options were UCF, Charleston, UTEP, and Boise St. It was just a bad tourney.

And for X- end of the day, Northern Iowa may well turn out better than Oklahoma. Not that much of a difference.

I would say Northern Iowa is a solid opponent for Xavier.

Honestly as much as I would like to see Xavier beat UNI by 20 I am having a lot of fun watching this game. UNI could wind up ranked at some point this season.

UNI is the type of team that's fun to root for when you're not playing them. X playing sloppy again. Have to clean up unforced turnovers.

Does this mean X plays UNI twice this season? I have to think it'll be a struggle for either team to go 2-0 over the series.

Yep. They play them again in their next game on Saturday. Should be interesting.
