Last year it was Syracuse, the year before that it was Villanova, the year before that Minnesota, the year before that Baylor, and in 2011-12 it was St. John’s. Now, this year it’s the Musketeers of Xavier and I couldn’t be more excited and happy, too, that our Athletic Department challenges us the way they do each year by allowing the national spotlight to shine on our players and coaches – if only for a night. Who knows, maybe the lights will shine bright again in the Spring.

As for our first opponent, Xavier, they were picked to finish 2nd in the Big East Pre-season Coaches’ Poll and feature a fair of 6’6” guards who were tabbed, in that same poll, as members of the Pre-season All Big East First Team. I’d expect a lot of banter on the Board in the days leading up to Friday, November 11th, but for time being here’s a look at the Big East Coaches’ Poll Results………
