I trust you all watched how Xavier got here. For those of you who didn't, X and UConn elevated the game of basketball for 50 minutes on Friday night despite some dodgy officiating threatening to drag the game back down. Xavier ultimately endured the longest, taking a one-point win in double OT.
Florida was trouncing St. Joseph's in their opener until Kerry Blackshear, Jr. got run for throwing elbows and the game almost turned on them. They held on and then proceeded to trounce a pretty good Miami (FL) team to earn a trip to the final. Blackshear was good for a cool 20 and 11 in that win.
