Xavier played some lock-down defense, that was impressive for such a young group of guys. Dee Davis was all over Clarke all day. Shocked Butler. I love it.

Xavier blew away everyone's expectation, including the season ticket holders. That was a great game to be at. Go Muskiess!

Butler's got 2 very good 3-pt shooters in Dunham and Clarke. |

Are you saying Xavier will run zone? Chris Mack almost never runs zone and Butler has 2 of the best 3-pt shooters in the country so I'd be shocked if XU runs any zone defense today. |

Love seeing your Futures picks and breakdowns each summer man. I like to write all mine out on a big dry-erase board as the first weekend of football kicks off so I can watch my progress (or lack of it!) throughout the season. GL! |

FYI - Xavier left Cincy at 4AM on Monday so I'm guessing they've adjusted to the time by now. But, with 2 starters (37 pts a game) still suspended, it's gonna be tough for XU.

If you compare these two teams' offenses and defenses, statistically or just with your eyes, there's no way you will take Butler here.

Season ticket holder as well, haven't missed a game in many years. Go Muskies!!! |

Im tired of hearing people complain about a free opportunity to win money. What does being a "true gambler" have to do with checking your covers.com inbox? They send stuff to it all the time. I'm on covers every day but hardly check the messages in there because they are worthless. Previous years' URs have been announced on the Contests main page several days before they've started. I had been going to the UR main page probably once a week but ended up missing the first day of the Race. Oh well. Would've been nice to have gotten further notice but it's free as you said, so I can't complain much. |

Keep up the good work Boom. I don't post in here normally, but I do read your 10 Things each week and check out your picks. I'm sure tons of others do too. Appreciate it. GL this week. |

IMO, Xavier's team this year is more talented and deeper than their 2 teams that went to the Elite 8. They have a great backcourt and have nice depth at all positions. Are they as good as UNC, UK, etc...? No, but if they come into the tourney hot and maybe get a few lucky breaks, or 1 or 2 easier-than-they should be games like Butler lucked into and it's possible. It's by no means probable. But for sites to have about 18 to 20 teams more likely to win it than them is too many IMO. They are a solid top 10 to top 15 team. They'll be battle-tested with a lot of nice non-conf games (Vandy, Purdue, Memphis, etc.). |

90/1 and 100/1, heck of a value indeed. Thanks TRoe and InCash |

Thanks again. Seems ridiculous that they are that much of a longshot given their depth and talent this year. |
