Expected to go 4-3 with the next most likely result being 5-2. I'd be very happy with 5-2.

I’ve had this day circled on the calendar. Would be great if Johnnies could grab a win but it will be tough. Really psyched to watch Xavier and Creighton beat down on their bitter rivals. A Butler win would be sweet too.

Ah, another Crosstown Shootout. Gotta love a good rivalry!

CINCINNATI at XAVIER, Sat. 5:00 p.m.

KENPOM Prediction: Xavier 73, Cincinnati 67

My take on Cincinnati is that the Bearcats are overvalued right now. The biggest reason for that is that there seems to still be some tension between new head coach John Brannen and star guard Jarron Cumberland. I also think that Xavier is one of the teams that is being undervalued at this point. I know they struggle shooting the rock, but they are tough, they are athletic and they have a couple of game-changers in Naji Marshall, Tyrique Jones and Paul Scruggs. If Kyky Tandy can provide a bit of shooting and Quentin Goodin is truly out of his funk, the Musketeers are a top 20 team. The only concern I have: This is a rivalry game. If Jarron Cumberland is ever going to play like a National Player of the Year candidate, this is the game he’ll do it.

PICKS: I will probably be staying away at Xavier (-6).

Best of luck to Xavier!

X won last week and dropped out of the polls? Is there a limit (3) to the # of BE teams that can be ranked any given week?
Butler in to replace X? BE should easily have 4 in the polls with DePaul in the wings.

Go Big East - SWEEP!!

SJU may finish near the bottom of the Big East this year but I have not been this entertained and excited by a team in a long time. The defense is insane! Now if we can add a few more shooters, we’ll really be in business.
