Article:Crazy NCAA Championship Pick??

Xavier

I'm not sure how many people(outside of Xavier fans) are going to pick Xavier to win the NCAA Championship this year.

Why not pick Xavier?

Indiana(Neutral)(80-65)

Kansas State(Semi-Home)(103-77)

Dayton(Home)(69-43)

UMass(Away)(77-65)

Dayton(Away)(57-51)

NO Losses vs. RPI 100+ Teams, with only four losses on the year:

@Miami OH(59-57)

@Arizona State(77-55)

Home Vs. Tennessee(82-75)

@Temple(78-59)

Ofcourse alot of similiar statistics can be mentioned about other teams, so why Xavier?

Xavier is 10-0 in their last 10 games.

Xavier played the 16th toughest Non-Conference Schedule

Xavier is 10-3 on the road/neutral sites

Drew Lavender should be healthy(and fresh) come tournament time


 * 1) 38 Scoring Defense (As of 3-2-08)

Three Seniors

Good FT shooting team

13-1 in A10 play

All i'm saying is....
