It has been noted that Division One College Basketball will enter 2018 with no team having zero losses and only 14 teams having just one loss. It is noted that it has been decades since this happened....although no specific date was given. Is it due to greater parity between teams or tougher non conference scheduling??? Whatever it is.....there are no undefeated teams as of yesterday Dec 30,2017. And as a side note...I think Coach Mack is just 3 wins away from being the Xavier coach with the most career wins ever.

January 10th versus Villanova, why not reach this Milestone against Villanova. That said, the only think that matter right now is win number 201, Tuesday versus a confident Butler Team.

We need to reestablish the toughness early on Tuesday and put Butler away early.

Per ESPN: This is the first time since the 1948-49 season that, entering the new year, there will be no undefeated teams.
