Vanderbilt a contrast to BYU, classy.

I'm just saying that the talking heads who were talking up BYU were also saying Xavier was overseeded. It wasn't a case of bagging on mid majors.

The talking heads were talking up BYU? I missed that. They weren't bashing us at least. And even though we did lose to a better, more athletic, more experienced Xavier team, it was not like they beat us like a drum ala Cincinnati in 2001. They had to come from behind just to beat us by 2 points. Then Ohio State who has been smoking everyone else in the tournament so far, barely beat them. I'm not sure Cincy in 2001 was any better than this Xavier team was.

The alleged travel will be shrouded in the fog of history and mythology.

No, he'll be remembered as the guy who made the incredible shot while traveling. Lots of guys make great shots to win games. Not many do it while comitting a violation. You have got to enjoy what providence has flung your way, but recognize it for what it is. Sometimes the officials giveth sometimes they take away.
