No Sumner for Xavier and their back up PG cannot handle the ball at all. They squeezed by with a win against St. Johns because they already had a double digit lead before Sumner went out. That guy is the biggest piece of this offense and creates for everyone else. With him gone, the dynamic of Xaviers offense changes dramatically. Thoughts?
In Canada the local lotto is giving -5.5 so I have to take Xavier, but I'd still be careful if I were you... Sumner or not, like any team 1 player doesn't make a team. Keep in mind they have home court today, and didn't against St. Johns. Also Xavier is no longer in the top 25 and that has to piss them off. They aren't too fair off Butler and Creighton either division wise. Speaking of divisions the Big East is always a top 3 division in the league, a couple of years ago I wouldn't let you convince me that it's not the best division, period!
