HJS {l Wrote}:Bonnies won the second half.
As Fraschilla said, Xavier probably had the deepest and most talented team in the Big East, they just had a shitty coach until they fired him after the 1st round of the NIT. They also made a bunch of 25 foot 3 pointers, if they do that on Thursday even Texas A&M isn't going to have an answer--and having watched them close up, A&M would have been a slam dunk for the Sweet 16 if they hadn't gotten hosed by the NCAA.
My two favorite things that happened last night were (1) watching the Xavier AD stammer and stutter while Adrian Wojinarski asked him why he had hired Sean Miller about three feet away from me. "Sean Miller...help me understand that one. He escaped being indicted for wire fraud only because Book Richardson didn't roll on him. Speaking of Book, he's out of Otisville now and coaching the Gauchos. You guys going to add him to the staff? I have no idea why you just didn't hire Jonas (Hayes). He's the guy who brought in all of your talent and he is a smart guy.... Miller ought to have had a show cause hung around his neck. (2) A&M booster of some means sitting two rows in front of me at court side at the end of the Bonnies-Xavier game loudly yelling into his mobile phone "Yeah, we told Jimbo we've given you everything you asked for and a hell of lot more, now you better get the job done. No more fucking whining. No more 4-4 bullshit. And no more getting swept by the Mississippi schools." Shortly thereafter, hangs up and apologizes to the Bonnies fan sitting next to him for the coarse language and saying to the effect "This is nice. Love comin' to New York, but this is just for passing the time before the Maroon and White game next Saturday."
