That preview says 8 titles for us... I count 3 for us and it's right about the 10 for the B1G... unless we're counting NIT titles for us and not for them in which case that's kinda sad.

Edit: That doesn't even make sense because we have 12 NIT titles and they have 11. So I'm confused

I'm thinking 4-4 but would love to have a Hoyas win as part of that.

[NJRedman]

5-3 or 6-2, it all depends on my johnnies. I think Indiana and Penn St are their only victories, unless we really really stink and lose to Rutgers.

Providence better beat Illinois now or it will look really bad....

[marquette]

I wouldn't go so far as to guarantee a win over Wisconsin, but even with our inexperience I think we look like the better team right now.

Hmmm? make that 7-1 or 6-2 with PSU and poss Rutgers as their only victories. Indiana gets whupped.

To say I loved this event was an understatement and to have XU win last night and earn a 4-4 split was bliss. I am interested to see next year's matchups and which teams (2 BE, 6 B1G) are excluded.

well Villanova plays in Charleston next year- so they would have to play on Tuesday if they do it at all....

Xavier is almost certainly out- they play in Puerto Rico starting on the Thursday.

Creighton would have to play on Tuesday as well since Paradise Jam starts Friday.

Love this series but I hope the matchups are better next year. FS1 got alot of stinkers.
