OK, that is a point I can agree with 100%. I see it as an impending factor only because the media will be drooling over this issue and I am sure it will be in the minds of those three seniors.
On the other hand, your point about peaking too early is a good point. They may come out too hyped which could create more problems in the end.

Give me execution over emotion any day of the week. I'm talking about a game plan, by the way.  |

In the NCAA college football video games, Herbstreit says how you can't play on pure emotion - you'll constantly be out of position on defense.
I know that basketball and football are different sports. But I think that discipline is important in both sports. An emotional game will take that team out of their game, and they'll lose. If the Xavier players are really bitter that Matta left them, it wouldn't be difficult for Matta to take his players and keep them under control to win the game.

It was a nailbiter, but Xavier's bread and butter, the three ball, was their difference maker yet again

Let me guess...It was a close game because of Matta's ties to XU.
