Take the points

Hops,

Is there any way you can be positive? Just once? I just had a intense 3 hour call with X4Life this morning. I think you're next on the list.

Though I only wager monopoly money, X has been good for me overall this year at 9-4 ats. They are 0 for their last 2 however. If X was playing like they were a month ago, this line would be 6.5. I hope Tre gets back in the groove, but Creighton has very good perimeter defenders. I still like X to cover at -3.5.

Kantner starts over Gates as well.

Just hope X has a chance to win in the last 2 minutes. We are 5-6 vs Creighton.

I won some $$ laying the pts versus Nova last week. Not going to wager today as this one is not so clear cut. That said, lay the pts, X by 8 in a dogfight this afternoon...!

In new BE play, they gave split the series 4-4.
Both are 2-2 at home and 2-2 on the road.
Other than a 14 point win by CU two years ago, the avg margin is 4.5 points.
Could come down to a one possession game at the end.

FWIW, KenPom has X winning 86-84.

I'd say the experts had this one wrong. What was the over/under?

167.

You'll be happy to know AH parlayed X -3.5 with Rhode Island -7. The kids now are back to three squares a day. I'd had to scale back to two after the Nova loss.

I'm always amazed at how many Xavier optimists post their positive thoughts on this Board.
