Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

DePaul @ Xavier, 7:00, CBS SN - Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas, Jamie Erdahl
Line: Xavier -8/137

Weird scenario for Xavier. Need to win tonight, but not blow out DePaul. A Xavier blowout, and DePaul could easily drop from 73 to 76 in the NET- and would cost Xavier one of their 3 Q1 wins.

But a loss would be rough. Would set up a huge 2 game road trip @ Georgetown and @ Providence. Followed up by Butler at home.

10/19 from 3 for the first half. Xavier. Go figure.

Big win for Xavier, 78-67 over DePaul...!

also notable:
NC State lost at UNC.
Clemson lost at Georgia Tech.
Memphis lost at SMU.

The Clemson one isn't that big- as they weren't on the bubble right now.....

Tomorrow a huge bubble day- 13 teams right near the bubble with games.

Tomorrow will be interesting to see where DePaul is. Xavier's profile really needs that win being a Q1 win.

So looking-
DePaul is 74 today so dropped only 1 spot. Still real close to 75. It'll be really interesting to see if they stick.

The Clemson @ Ga Tech game wasn't an upset looking at the NET. It was Clemson 14-12 (#74) @ Georgia Tech 12-14 (#79). now they're 75 and 76 respectively.

It seems so crazy that teams like DePaul, Clemson, and Georgia Tech are considered Q1(or right near Q1). I get what they were trying to do rewarding road games, but they went too far. I think I'd have done it where it was top 30 home, 50 neutral, and maybe 60 or 65 away.
