????? ... Louisville is in the ACC (Atlantic Coast). Cincinnati, UCONN, Wichita State and others are in inferior AAC (American Athletic). Both play major football. No danger of UD or any non-football schools (Big East brass included) ever cracking the ACC, their lucrative broadcasting deal, etc.
Who knows why we don't play
Xavier in MBB. We haven't won there since the Carter administration, so we're not exactly dealing from a position of strength. It may be like UD & Wright State -- they view us as inferior and have no desire/incentive for a home & home series.
I miss the rivalry, but as years go by, it's increasingly less critical to our identity or success. Our destiny lies in being a perennial force in the A-10 without letdowns like this year. Move on.
