Kevin O'Neill wearing his blue and gold in the studio. Also, good news - Jim Burr is refereeing the St. Johns - Seton Hall game (along with Stephens and Breeding).

Flipping on ESPNU for Tulsa at Central Florida and ESPN NEWS for Tulane at East Carolina makes me glad the C-7 left the old Big East now the American Athletic Conference.

[MU/Panther]

Seton Hall closes the first half on a 8-0 run to lead at halftime 40-35. Great crowd in Jersey!

[MU/Panther]

Big win for Seton Hall today without Whitehead over St. John's. 78-67

[MU/Panther]

Villanova 36 Butler 32 at the half. Speaking of a Philly school, Temple won at UConn in overtime.

Every home team has won so far, and Xavier up by 10 with 8 minutes left in 1st half.

Austin Croshere had the line of the night talking about the Crean-Miles showdown. He called it his accountant fighting against his banker.

Final
Xavier 70 Georgetown 53

Georgetown...woof.

[MUwarrior1090]

Road teams went 0-5

[warriorfan4life]

Georgetown...woof.

That score is a bit misleading, as it was Xavier up by 4-10 most of the night. Also, X is a better team than their record/resume would suggest and they had a strong game against Georgetown. I like that Chris Mack shortened his rotation and stayed with a core 7-8 guys for the majority of minutes.
