I don't drink coffee, but it's a bet if a coffee is a beer.

We're better than Xavier is and we're playing better now than Xavier is, so sure.

I have the added advantage of good mojo, because I'll actually be rooting for our alma mater to win.

Ok, beer bet at the best micro in Seattle - Sea Pine.

Just glanced at their tap list, and I'm already looking forward to the Positron hazy IPA you're gonna be buying me!

Notwithstanding Blue's obsequiousness towards Xavier, we are better than them.

Torvik would disagree, but that's OK.

Somehow my comment several weeks ago that Xavier was playing as well as or better than MU has been translated into "Xavier is an unbeatable juggernaut". Maybe someone can point out when I said anything close to that. If I did, I guess I was also saying that MU is an unbeatable juggernaut.

Of course, that kind of hyperbolic sarcasm is pretty common on this board from posters who think they are staking out the high ground.

An objective observer might say that two teams that have identical conference records at the end of the season are pretty evenly matched. And some would also recognize that one team was handicapped by an injury that affected their best veteran player.

I look forward to MU proving that they are the far better team in a head to head meeting on a neutral court. Of course, you have already declared that you won't accept that Xavier is MU's equal even if they beat MU for a second time.

What do you expect the point spread in that game to be? If I am wrong that the teams are evenly matched, should MU be favored by close to 10 points?

Last bet I collected on Scoop was from Goose.  Look forward to it, Positron Hazy is amazing along with all their other IPA's.

Butler just got outrebounded 53-29 giving up 20+ offensive rebounds to Providence and was never really close to losing control of the game.

Crazy!

Not that crazy.

Maybe Georgetown isn't "back".

Seton Hall lighting it up tonight. 4 points in the first 7 minutes

Minutes after losing to end their season, Ed Cooley says that if Sorber comes back that Georgetown will be cutting down the nets at MSG next year.

Lol.

I've heard of teams that will practice cutting down the nets before the season as a part of goal setting. I assume Cooley is saying Gtown will be doing that at MSG during BE Media Days.

Nothing wrong with dreaming big.

I would think Georgetown will be in the Crown or NIT.

Will Seton Hall make it to 40 points tonight?

Rick Pitino and Shaka both took over a struggling program and won the Big East in their second year and had a top ten team. Cooley just finished his second year as a bottom feeder and all he has are what ifs. Not off to a blazing start.

Dude had a .613 winning percentage at Providence in a decade of work... which amounted to one Sweet 16 appearance.  I'm not sure why so many people thought he'd be able to fix a Georgetown program that stopped caring about basketball.  Certainly, this year has been less embarrassing than others though.

I think Herm is the only person who thinks Cooley is a great coach. He's fine. Not Shaka level...not even in the same ballpark as Pitino.

Herm liked him because he cheated on his wife.

Truly overrated. The "his teams get better as the season goes on" defense of him was debunked multiple times, too.

Oh, and what if Sorber doesn't come back, which is entirely possible? Then is Cooley already saying his team will suck again?

[Big Papi]

Cooley was fighting for his player not winning the Freshmen of the year award.  I don't have any issues with that.  Seems like his temper got the best of him in the moment.  I think Sorber was more impactful than McNeely and should have won it. 

Cooley is not a great coach, but he is a good coach who had them trending in the right direction.  Georgetown was a dumpster fire.  I am sure Georgetown will start slowly rising to the middle of the pack regardless on Sorber's decision.

[GoldenEagles03]

This Butler St Johns game is horrible lol.

As a side note, if GT could actually pull this off against Duke, Xavier fans would have to feeeel pretty nervous about a spot with a loss today.

That would clear a path for Wake or UNC to make a run.

Butler played SJ tough in both games this season. No surprise here.

Indiana losing would be beneficial to Xavier's at-large hopes

There's no downside to that prediction because he knows Sorber isn't coming back.

[Its DJOver]

All right history buffs, when was the last time DePaul beat a team three times in one season, and who was it?
