Last night in 1st half of Seton Hall game, the sun was in the players' eyes for a short time. Pretty rare in basketball to have this happen.

From what I've heard, he is expected to play. The question is how effective can he be? He had a strong first half last night, but was a non-factor in the second half, even in a few minutes he did attempt to play.

It won't be an easy game either way, but the Pirates may be in trouble if Desi can't contribute much.

Bottom line, Xavier beating Cincy would be a damn good win. May very well be a top 20 win by the end of the year.


I don't see the connection. P5 doesn't work for basketball because there are six power conferences. The AAC is not one of them. Ergo, they are a mid major. One of the best mid majors along with A10 and WCC but mid major nonetheless. I have no trouble eating the cake that I have.

You see, folks rail at the P5 label. You just did. You proved my point 100%. Thank you!

Show me 1 professional writer who calls Cincy a mid-major(no, not a blog writer from a Big East blog).

Beating Cincy this year frankly will mean way more than beating Colorado. Pretty much everyone knows it except for some Big East fans.

It may be football related, but P.J. Fleck's agent came out and more or less slighted Cincinnati by saying Fleck was not interested in another G5 job. Basically saying WMU and Cincinnati are on the same level. Granted, it works a little bit different in football, but that's something that absolutely would not have been said when the Bearcats were in the Big East.
