The Musketeers, watching the SEC championship on Sunday afternoon, naturally got caught up in pulling for the underdawg.

Some of the Xavier players watched the SEC title game before tuning into the NCAA selection show at coach Sean Miller’s house and found themselves favoring the Bulldogs.
“We were actually rooting for them,” senior guard Stanley Burrell said. “They were the underdog. Now we get to play them. It’s crazy.”

We’ll have a deeper look at Xavier later, but when you point to Sundiata Gaines as Georgia’s strength, the Musketeers are able to play the Drew Lavender trump card. Burrell, Lavender’s backcourt mate, is the A10’s defensive player of the year and might draw the assignment to guard Gaines.
