5. No X-cuses

- XAVIER MASCOT

Xavier is the only double-digit seed remaining in the field, and while the Musketeers don't fit the ideal descriptio­n of cinderella, it still would be pretty improbable to see them cut down the nets in san Jose and go on to the Final Four. Xavier seemed to be dead in the water when star point guard Edmond sumner was lost for the season to a torn acL. The Musketeers lost six straight games, but they're 5-1 since, and have belief after wins over Maryland and Florida state. They'll be heavy underdogs for tonight's game against arizona, but hey, it is March.
