Xavier

The more I read about Xavier, the more they sound a lot like us. They distribute the ball very well. You never know who the leading scorer will be. They have 3 guys that have put up more than 50 3-pointers this year. They're athletic and emphasize defense. Sean Miller has done an excellent job putting this team together. We have a few common opponents (Tennessee, Auburn, Cinci) with similar results. OK, they beat Cinci, but they lost by more to Tennessee and we beat Aurburn by more. Anyway, looks like a close matchup with a slight edge to Xavier. Depends on who can play the best D without getting into foul trouble, and who's making their shots. They don't have an answer for Alexander if he's on, but overall, they play better defense.
