What a nice cherry on top if X can pull this out.

[Xuperman]

Hard to say what to expect from X at this point. I think we get the W as a 2 pt Road Dog but the preparation/effort in the 1st true road game at Wake was concerning. That cannot be an issue today......this one will be a far more hostile environment vs better coaching. Make no mistake, we can/should return to top 25 form but most of us here can't understand why the offense isn't more in sync considering this group is predominantly veterans, 5 of which likely in their last year. Coach Steele has made it clear that winning relies heavy on FULL 40 defense with this squad but even that has shown to be a concern in the last 2.

There has been more than enough underachieving in areas OOC regardless of the 10-2 record. The players know it. The coaches know it. So with that said, there can be no excuse for X not putting it all together today. This is a HUGE MOMENTUM opportunity to bridge that critical Monday date in Philly after the Christmas break. This game will answer a lot of questions, one way or another.

Who they playin'...Duke?

[Xuperman]

Have no idea what that means gtblo. Today's opponent features a 1st team ALL B12 selection and a true power guy at the 5 along with a nice assortment of athletic shooters. They have a seasoned veteran coach and they're in their own building with B12 refs. Formidable enough to challenge any BE team.

LOL. Going with the hard sell for TCU

Umm no

[GoldenWarrior11]

Looking like another two wins for the Big East today, assuming both Xavier and Hall can maintain their double digit leads.

[gtmoBlue]

Yep definitely a hard sell. To listen to Xuper tell it, you’d think X was playing Duke or Mich St., rather than the third best team in Dallas, behind SMU & North Texas.

Go Xuper... go X.

[Jet915]

Nice win X! Played not to lose in the last 5 minutes, it wasn't even that close.
