This is a Xavier team that is led by Coach Chris Mack and has a very talented team on his hands. Note this is not the usual mid-major team this is a squad that can make some serious damage into the tournament.
Note, Xavier is a top 15 power ranking team, is a top 25 offensive team and most importantly is a top 15 defensive team. This team beat Michigan by 16 on the road, beat Alabama by 19 points, beat USC by 10 points, beat Dayton by 29 points, beat Cincinnati by 10 points, beat Butler by 19 points and note this team did not play particular well against St. Johns by winning by 8 points on the road. Look for a big win tonight for Xavier at home.
