Musketeer Madness

Miami Ohio took 4th ranked UCLA down to the end of the game before UCLA won at home in LA....either Miami,loaded with seniors, is tough or UCLA is a paper tiger

Xavier better be ready to play Miami OHIO

Above is the link to the LA Times story on the game. Michael Bramos was pretty much it for Miami. He had 22 pts., with no one else having more than 8.

I hope that it was just a scare given that UCLA has a few prominent freshman they were showcasing, maybe the shock of college ball is still settling. Either way I hope Miami is not that good, I would be pretty pissed if they beat us back to back.

We will have our hands full with them as usual.I'm not sure how good UCLA is, but to play them that close out there is impressive.

I watched part of that game and Miami was up in the second half a number of times. You could see the talent on UCLA's team but Miami is very and I mean VERY tough on the Defensive end of the floor. Miami's other scorer was having an off night but Mr. B was blocking shots and hitting them all over the floor. Miami looks much more athletic then they did last year and while UCLA was bigger Miami held their own on the boards while I was watching. It was a two point game at half, something like 29-27.

Agreed Muskie Man, Charlie Cole's teams are always very tough on the defensive side of the ball. XU will have no cake walk with the Redhawks on 11/29, or the other MAC squads they will face (Toledo, OU) . Personally, I'd like to see a Bubba Walther/Brad Redford shooting contest before tip off of the OU game.. Two of the best shooters around
