On the way to Hinkle tonight with Steve, Jr. to join other X fans to root on the Musketeers.

First for me, Steve, Jr. was previously there; inclusive of the Kenny Frease water fountain game.

Go Muskies!

This game scares me. Butler on the road with nothing to play for. Therefore they will be playing freely. Besides I have a lot of respect for Thad. Go X!

Xavier will win. We are playing our best Basketball and we have no choice. I think we need to get to the Big East finals to make it to the tournament so lets get it done.

Horrible lazy defense. Doesn't Freemantle know Brooks can shoot the three? Better get serious about their defense.

Doesn't seem like Butler has a answer for Freemantle. Conwell has turned into our beast defensive player.
