Disagree. Not really sure how you can leave out UCLA, but I guess that's the east coast bias shining through. UNC and Memphis will be mostly unchallenged come March will will really hurt them. I won't be surprised if they both lose in the Elite 8. And Xavier is pretty laughable, but it's not bad to put a long shot in there.
Xavier? Laughable? let's see... 6 players averaging double digit scoring. Derrick Brown who NBA scouts are looking at as only a sophomore. Drew Lavender, at 5'6 maybe the best point guard in college basketball. And they've beaten up on three teams from power conferences this season.
I think Xavier is well equipped to make it. Moreso than Tennessee or Vandy or UCLA or Memphis.

Moreso that UCLA? Again, laughable. Xavier just lost to ASU, the 5th or 6th best team in the PAC 10. If Xavier played in the PAC 10 they would be battling OSU for last place.
Arizona State? Big deal, every team looses one like that every season. Arizona State is the one of the only two teams that Xavier lost to, that isn't in the NCAA tournament. Besides, what other team in the NCAA tournament has 9 guys averaging double digits.Xavier is 9-3 against teams in the top 50. Plus they crushed No. 8 Indiana on the road and crushed No. 16 Dayton. A Final four Xavier bid is definate possibility and certainly not laughable.
