Xavier fan here.

wow- Im just impressed at how much you respect Xavier. 2 weeks ago you said he should be considered- after the Xavier game you said "Mick for coach of the year"-- that game must have pushed it over the edge.

Dude- I am a xavier fan and even I dont know anyone that holds that much respect for the Muskies- much appreciated though.

Then again- over the past 5 years you have been a mick supporter- all he needed was time. Though when Xavier hires Mack and gets them into the sweet 16 his first year you say "bad hire" Did you think X was better then a sweet 16 team last year? Please explain this. Mick 4 years no tournament-great hire. Mack 1 year- sweet 16. bad hire....lol, I guess thats just the expectations you have of both programs?

Mack inherited a loaded team but anybody making the Sweet 16 has accomplished something. Having Love and Crawford was huge for him because it gave him a legit inside outside threat. Something this years team does not have. To be fair Redford's injury has probably hurt this team far more than people realize.

That said, I never cared for the Mack hire either. I thought they picked the wrong assistant.

To even compare what Mack has inherited with what Mick inherited is laughable. Most of us respect Mick for all the obstacles he has had to overcome. Though I said from last spring that this team would be better than most thought, I won't judge the season till it's over. Regardless, Mick deserves credit for rebuilding the foundation of what was a nationally respected program and what was a consistent top 25 team. Especially under the guidelines that was given to him by the administration.

I'm sorry I can't really undertsand your 2nd grade grammar, I honestly have no clue what you are trying to say here. If you are an xavier fan and are talking about conferences, then you are a little out of line. Whenever someone mentions the A10 to me I can't help but laugh.

Eggsavior is truly terrible and is absolutely corrupt to the core.

Mick coaches circles around Mack
Not one player on Eggs could even make Uc's roster. Honestly, the game this year will be so lopsided that I'm actually embarrassed uc even has to play in it. It's like beating your 2 year old sister in an arm wrestling contest.

Eggs is truly a terrible program

hahahaha my thought exactly! I am actually worried what dirty tricks Mack is going to tell them what to do in attempt to give their team any kind of thought they can stay in the game. I will say, in the two games I have seen them play they played good half court d. But I swear, I have never seen a team get away with so much sh!t in my life, naturally both of those games were at home.

I compare Xavier's defense to Ohio State's. It all comes down to how much grabbing and hand checking they get away with. Look at Craft for OSU, when he gets away with hacking guys' arms and grabbing them as they try to cut, he is phenomenal. When he gets called for those, he practically fouls out every time. Xavier plays defense much the same way. They don't move their feet to stay in front of guys. They clutch and grab and hand check away. If they get away with it, the game could be close. If not, UC blows them out. It's as simple as that.
