Subject: Having seen both games on Friday, Xavier SHOULD have no trouble and should win by more then your prediction. But I am reminded not to get overly optimistic. I think the crowd and the memories of the last two tournaments will help! Just hope the shots continue to fall.

>Batth is the Tigers' leading rebounder and 2nd-leading
>scorer, although the team leader is Chrissy Floyd. She

>However, Clemson is not a particularly big ballclub,

>PREDICTION:
>Xavier has had problems in past NCAA Tournaments with
>quick teams, but they have the inside game to go down
>low in the post to score, and proved on Friday that
>they can shoot the 3 as well. It's Xavier's last home
