A rare mistake for probably the most recognized announcer in the world, Jim Nantz.

Same. Don't feel bad. One of the smartest men (IMO) in CBball also picked them to win it all..... Jay Bilas.

I'm not a guru like Bilas but I just can't take Arizona seriously come tourney time... seems like they "always" come in hyped and get knocked off earlier than expected. They seem to be a perennial bracket wrecker... maybe more so than any other big name P5 team I can think of. Granted this is my super subjective, what have you done for me lately recollection

In fairness, he did mention that it was their best win. And he might've been conflating Houston winning on our home court with NKU beating us in Kentucky

Honestly he probably just assumed that we hosted them since not many big time programs go on the road against a team like NKU. It is super rare.

Kennesaw may not end up winning th game, but they've at least made Xavier look stupid on a couple of plays.

Xavier showing their true class now that they are struggling.

X may win this game, but they're not getting far.

They looked like total crap against Marquette. They look like total crap now.

Their defense has been awful in this game.

I picked X to go E8. Ouch

The Owls are teaching a masterclass on shortening the game with a lead. Each of the last 4 possessions they've taken 25+ seconds off the clock and made a bucket in or around the paint.

My betcard hopes they can pull this off but it's going to be a battle.

Welp...thats a tough run. No points and 3 TOs in the last 4:48 for Kennesaw State tied to a 10-0 run for Xavier on 4-5 shooting.

X fighting amongst themselves like the bunch of babies that they are.

Xavier is getting away with a lot of fouls against Kennesaw St. They are practically mugging them and nothing is called.

There could have been a reach in foul called there.

That's a tough one for Kennesaw. A good comeback by Eggzavier, though.

X is so over seeded at 3. They suck.

Kennesaw really choked bad. They were dominating by running good offense against a bad defense. Then they went into clock bleed up 13 and iso ball. Making it easy on a defense that gets lost when you make it move.

Should have been a foul for sure. X got really lucky there.

Here comes the upset to their benefit. 11 seed mediocre at best Pitt will beat Iowa State.
