So Villanova's 4 year stranglehold on the BE regular season may be ending...
Right now Xavier has a 1 game lead and they get Nova at home after last night's games.
I will say this even if Xavier wins the BE regular season I still like Nova over the long run as a better bet in the NCAA's. Biggest reason is Xavier has defensive lapses. Now they have been able to overcome them and win a lot of tight games but man they give up A LOT points even in their wins. They have two wins at home against Georgetown and SHU where they gave up 90+ in regulation. Heck SHU scored 65 in the SECOND HALF last night even though they lost. 65 points in a college HALF. DePaul had a 15 point second half lead on them at Xavier. Remember the beginning of the 2nd half when SJU played them at Xavier, I think SJU came out and hit their first 10 shots after halftime. They are good and they are resiliant but I think their poor defense will catch up to them.
