Wells, Martin, and Redford in particular will add balance and versatility on the perimeter, which will open up the lane for Tu and Cheek slashing and the bigs getting position. X may struggle with Vandy, but it won't be for the same reasons they struggled against the above mentioned teams last year.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965297735277115060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760959829637297379.post-24603704744135921222011-06-18T01:12:41.611-04:002011-06-18T01:12:41.611-04:00I hate to pour cold water on the upset dream, Xavi...I hate to pour cold water on the upset dream, Xavier Nation, but I predict the Commodores will open a can of asswhuppin. If history repeats, when X faces an atheltic, mobile and balanced team (remember UC and Marquette) they struggle. Vandy is solid in every position and play 9 deep. Also, I believe that Jenkins will eat Mr. Holloway's lunch. <br /><br />On the bright side, Musketeers who travel south should be rewarded watching the Festus/Kenny match up, which alone should be worth the ticket price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
