But to be honest, I do not think we are going to be THAT great. I see us being a consistently ranked around 15....but we just do not have the post presence to content with the greatest teams out there. For sure though, our backcourt is one of the greatest in the nation. Our trio of Christopher, Randle, and Robertson can all shoot.

Losing two of your best players and your coach is hard for anyone to overcome. Plus, the A-10 is really closing the gap as it is.

It's good to see they'll probably be reloaded and ready to contend again next year. I really hope Derrick Brown comes back to school - he's improved considerably from his freshman year, but he could be a great senior leader on a team full of talent (worked out OK for David West, I think).

Either Xavier does a great job of hiring promising coaches or there's something about the program that seems to breed coaching talent.

You have to be able to recruit the guys you think you need to make the program a success which is part of the coaching job.

A few converted free throws and Xavier knocks off the top-ranked team in the country.

After today, it can be said that California should definitely be higher than a 10 seed, if UCLA will be a 4 seed, and Washington and Arizona St. are 5 seeds. Although UCLA is tied for 2nd in the conference with Cal and Arizona st., I still think that they will somehow pull off on top at the end of the season some how.
