OK... I maybe went over board with over rated... But I would not had them a 4 seed. And you agree with that
I know ur a A-10 guy and I read most your post, and get a lot of info from you, so I wont debate you either, because I am sure you will tear me up.
I do think X will win but i will go against them at 11.5.
But I will stick that they struggle against pressure defense.
And I said it will come down to PS are hitting 3's, they shoot almost 40% for the season. If they are off they wont get 2nd chance points as I stated X is a very good rebounding team

Thank God. I too agree that Xavier pulling the 4 seed is bs, but in what way are they NOT 11 points better than Portland State??? Because of a few games box scores in the regular season?
Does anybody get how difficult the A-10 really is compared to the rest of the mid-majors? DOES ANYBODY GET IT?? I would much rather be playing on the road at Weber State and Montana then pack houses at Charlotte, Duquesne and Richmond. That's total bulls**t if anybody thinks otherwise. They are completely on different levels.
Next, you have Sean Miller coaching HIS RECRUITS with upperclass talent. Miller is one of the best coaches in this country, period. The guy can throw a half court zone at you just as effective as he can a full court press. He is a defensive mastermind to say the least. Maybe his track record in the NCAA Tournament can back that up??????
Third, and the one that pisses me off the most, is this Gonzaga garbage. EEEEEWOW!!!!!! They beat Gonzaga. While it is a resume building win, why don't we sit down and take this s**t into consideration? They beat them on Dec. 23, a week before WCC play kicked off for the Zags. Did they care about that game? Did they put their maximum effort into that game? Of course not, it's PORTLAND STATE. What the hell do you have to defend in a game like that? It's pre-WCC play. If anything, Mark Few used it as a practice game to try out new offenses and defenses.
I'm actually pretty scared to see what BJ, Derrick and CJ do to the undersized, undermatched PSU "Warriors" that everybody thinks will come in and rock XU's world. This is March, this isn't a meaningless regular season contest. When it's do or die, Miller is one of the scariest coaches to go against, and Xavier is ALWAYS, ALWAYS one of the more dangerous teams to play in the field.
This game has PSU punking written all over it.
Hey, I admitted, it was the wrong choice of words... sorry
