Simpson the key, today
I'm not a hoops guru by any means, but I can say this, that Xaviers play tonight is the most key piece to winning, for if he negates Custer, then they will be crushed. Custer is their ringleader, and this is the first team weve played that is excessively dependent on one player. This is Simpsons time, and all the pundits who left him off the All-whatever teams will reflect.
I digress....have been thinking this since February, that this is our year to win it all. Was there as a frosh season ticket holder in 1989, (and then again as a fifth year senior with the Fab Five....) and this team has that oneness again.
GO BLUE

Note that per KenPom, Houston's the highest-rated team we've faced (Loyola included). Their defense is higher-rated than any of the other three Final Four teams. That was a Sweet 16 (or even Elite Eight)-level game that came early.

The key. Point guard play in the tourney is critical.
Why do you think we have won 13 in a row. X.
And Rob has to score 6. Ha. Go Blue.

If Mo and Teske play well, we win. They have a 6'9" Ricky Doyle-like center. Next tallest is 6'6", then everyone else is under 6'4". We are the first team, other than Miami, that will have legitimate size over Loyola. If our bigs play well, we win.

Remember Butler blew through their final four opponents, so I hope M brings it today.
I feel that whichever team is shooting at 30-35% or higher from 3 is going to win the game. If either team Is cold, it’s over
