Inability to close out games, that team lost buzzer beaters to Louisville and Vanderbilt. Choked in the final minute against Duke, Gonzaga, Cinci, and Notre Dame.
As far as the X team isn't it strange that hindsight is 20/20? You guys had Tu Halloway tearing up the world and Kenny Freeze down low. Plus you still had a decent Mark Lyons. Back then I used to go on the ESPN pregame boards and the X fans were convinced they were headed to the final four that year.
Maybe before the Crosstown Shootout fight we had aspirations for the Final Four. We were ranked #8 in the country at the time and playing as well as anybody. After it though, the team was never the same.
Changing discussion to foresight, who gets to the next Final Four first, Marquette or Xavier?
You guys are talking about 2 different years. Marquette beat Xavier in '10-'11 and then the brawl happened the next basketball season '11-'12. Xavier actually got to the sweet 16 the year of the brawl (thanks Lehigh!) before losing to Baylor.

You're talking about the wrong year man. And you're about 42 years late in challenging us to a final four race. I guess you can ask if you'll get there before we get our fourth?

I read somewhere that the Bulls wanted Dunn and Crowder for Butler don't remember where I read it though... Just thinking of Butler and Crowder makes me wonder how that 2011 Marquette team was an 11 seed and how easy they got it that year with Xavier being a 6 seed(Xavier's record was deserving of a 6 seed that year but the talent was not)

"Who gets to the next Final Four first?" Is that hard to understand. You must be tired. Enjoy some video to relax.
MUBoxer wrote:Well the next final four is March 2017, neither of our teams are making that, so I guess I can check flight information and see if our teams will be in attendance and who lands first. Now if you were trying to say "who is going to reach the final four next, Marquette or Xavier" that would be better structured to insult my schools program. I am very tired though, started a new job at Groupon and haven't adjusted to the commute, thank you for the concern.
I don't know why beating a non tournament team is a point of bragging for you. If you wanted to insult us better I'd suggest showing clips of you guys winning in 1968 since that's the only Marquette tournament team Xavier has beaten thus it's the only one that could possibly get under my skin. Just think if we hadn't choked against Depaul and Creighton you might've gotten a rise out of me
