Could XU have received a tougher draw in the first round?  Georgia just made a miracle run in the SEC tourney.  They won 2 games in the same day, that is unheard of!  The Muskie players were at Miller's house on Saturday rooting GA on, as XU went through a similar season two years ago. 

Seeds and match ups aside, it is important that we recognize how great a season XU had.  Wins vs 6 NCAAA Tournament bound teams, the highest regular season win total ever, 6 unselfish players in double figures, and winning the league.  That is one hell of a resume. 

XU received a #3 seed once before, in David West's senior year.  They lost in the 2nd Round to Maryland that year though.  Playing an SEC team in the first round will force XU to not overlook the game.  I just hope the shooting woes stop and XU's defensive intensity gets a kick start.

Congratulations Muskies!
