You can always count on not counting on any help from the refs at the old Hinkle barn. The Muskies played with heart and fight Saturday night but came up just short against Butler and their psuedo-child coach.
The narrow loss dropped X from a possible 4th place A10 finish down to the 7th seed and sets them up with an opening round matchup against St. Joe's on Thursday at 6:30. X lost on the road to the Hawks earlier this year. St. Joe's is a talented team that just haven't been able put it together this year.
Both X and Joe's have zero chance at an at-large bid so it's all-or-nothing for both these teams Thursday night. A strong backcourt is often-times a big key to tourney success. Semaj and Dee have grown a lot over the season; let's see if they can carry the Muskies in the A10 tourney.
Go Muskies!
