Xavier Pulls Off Another Upset, Topping Third-seeded Florida State

... “We've been a very inconsistent 3-point shooting team this year, and obviously they knew that, and they packed it in,” said FSU Coach Leonard Hamilton, whose team finished second in the ACC this season. “We determined that if we were going to win the game we were going to have to hit from the perimeter, and they did a good job of denying.”. Xavier knew the Seminoles like to slash to the basket and get out on fast breaks in transition. The Musketeers made it difficult for FSU to get into its comfort zone by playing zone and also by limiting their turnovers to just nine to force the Seminoles to have to play half-court offense. Dwayne Bacon led FSU with 20 points but he missed all five of his shots from three-point range. Xavier Rathan-Mayes was the only Seminoles starter to convert a three-pointer.

Why Bill Murray Is At All These Xavier Games

... Maryland. It was a good night: Xavier won 76-65 and advanced to the Round of 32, where it faces Florida State on Saturday (6:10 p.m. ET, TNT). Murray is at these games because of his son. Luke Murray is finishing up his second year as an assistant to Chris Mack, Xavier’s head coach. For the two years before that, he was an assistant at Rhode Island under Danny Hurley. And back then, Bill showed up at Luke’s games, too, because dads do that. He’s probably been showing up at Luke-coached and Luke-played games for many years. Bill Murray was at Fordham-Rhode Island tonight. (cc @KFCBarstool ) __link__/5 ja ARVrxu T. — Kenny Ducey (@Kenny Ducey) February 2, 2014. Before his time at Rhode Island, Luke was an assistant at Towson and Wagner. Before that, he was a graduate assistant at Arizona under Sean Miller in 2009-10. The Wildcats missed the NCAA tournament that year, so last season and this one have been Luke’s first opportunities in the Big Dance. Bill ...

Once Again, Arizona's Sean Miller Crosses Paths With Xavier, Chris Mack

... program where he has a chance every year to win a national title. But you know what’s not old news? The fact that Xavier keeps getting in Arizona’s way in the NCAA tournament. For the second time in three years, the Wildcats will meet Xavier in the Sweet 16, pitting Miller against his former assistant Chris Mack and Arizona against the program where he emerged as a coaching star. “It was probably more weird the first time it happened,” said Arizona director of basketball operations Ryan Reynolds, who played for Miller at Xavier. “It’s been a while since we were there. Obviously we’re really close with Coach Mack. The players have all changed, so that helps. If we beat them, in a weird way, all of us are going to feel bad for them. If they beat us, they're going to feel bad for us. You just have to deal with it. When you’re in the Sweet ...
