Xavier ranks 202 in defense. So we should get another win if we play like we did in the second half against BYU.

However Xavier beat Alabama and Missouri and had a close loss to Auburn. So if we play like we did in the first half against BYU we could lose.

Gotta play better defense overall.. Didn't play great D 2nd half, gave up 41, just went nuts offensively.. I would expect Xavier to match up much better athletically.. Quick turnaround, maybe the win puts wind in our sails because its also a quick turnaround with a long flight..

I think that we match up better with Xavier than we do with BYU. Three point defense has been our biggest weakness and three point offense is BYU's strength. Xavier is not particularly good from beyond the arc. Xavier is even worse at turning the ball over than BYU, and when the good Ole Miss shows up, we are really good at creating turnovers.

we can only hope that Xavier players and coaches know as little about Ole Miss as their fans apparently do.

I have some scars myself, although I don't believe that any of them are from basketball.
