I know we shouldn't care but Villanova just X a butt whipping. Maybe those X fans will shut up their final four-national championship talk for awhile.
 
I happened to catch a glimpse of the end of this game on a TV when I was walking through the mall...and I seriously laughed and smiled for at least 5 minutes straight.

Wonderful new year's gift. :)
 
Nova has their number like they have ours. 6-0 vs them since they joined the conference with 5 of them being double digit wins.
 
X's point guard was seriously injured in first 2 minutes. His head was stabilized and he was carted off straight to the hospital. They seemed to play like they were in shock the 1st half and never recovered. Plus Villanova hit everything. It was a fluke performance all things considered.

Plus, this is a Bearcat forum. We don't need X threads here.

Yeah I agree...and having a thread to celebrate a Xavier loss screams Little Brother.
 
Come on, now. Celebrating the failure of others is a long and proud Cincinnati tradition, as we sheepishly ignore our own.

Or maybe we should be caring because our RPI is now 106. Can you say bubble?

Our RPI Hasn't been good all year.

RPI is the worst computer ranking. Kenpom, BPI and Sargerin all have us much higher.

RPI is just a joke at this point in the season
 
Nova knows how to play X. You'd think after 100 or so games, UC would understand what it takes to beat X. It takes relentless aggression and physical play on each and every play. The equivalent to punching X in the mouth on each series both offensively and defensively the entire game. Secondly, the team has to match X's intensity. UC doesn't and looses. Third, for as much as I like Mick, he can't tell the team "its like going against Golden State." What a ridiculous comment. Is that the best he can come up with for a comment? He also says things like, I'm not worried about X, I'm worried about other teams in our league. This is not the biggest game on our schedule, but it is more so for them. No wonder we can't win, the coach doesn't think we can. I'm certain Chris Mack does NOT spend his day complementing UC.

Very well said. The only thing we did try was the punch To the mouth, LOL!

I would agree about the rpi at this point, but after Hoard called UC schedule a gauntlet because of the RPI of a few teams, all is fair.

108 RPI at any point in the season is embarrassing.
