    gw at xavier

    How about the gw at xavier game. ML def. looks good for #10 gw but playing at xavier. In logical college basketball program, xavier should win this because they are home team and have dominated gw in the past, yet, gw seems to be the better team and has also defeated teams like temple which xavier has struggled against. Just throwing it out there to see what you guys think about the possible upset.

    first off, let me welcome you to the SBRforum

    xavier always puts out good team year in and year out. the thing about this matchup is the home court advantage which you mentioned above.

    i pesonaly feel that GW is overrated this year big time. SLU went there and, should have beat them a few weeks ago. so, we do know that they are very beatable by even the weaker teams in the A-10.

    Can someone tell me how much I should grade GW's easy schedule
    into this? Are these two teams in the same class? If so GW looks good
    because Xavier hasn't covered the spread in there last 4 games.

    GW showed us something tonight. That was an impressive comeback. They were being handled in every way during the first half.

    This was a classic example of a team getting the tempo in its favor and the powerful role that plays in an NCAA basketball game.
