I dunno. Xavier is 174-26 in their last 200 games at home. Quite an advantage.
Yes we still could have and should have beaten them, and the team did not play well, but Xavier is a good team. ESPN power rating of 27 with us at 20...that Christon is a great player too.
IMO that Xavier team last night was not the same Xavier team I've seen over the last many years. They played as bad as us for the most part.
We better step up our game and coaching or we'll be 1 and done in the NIT again. Stokes hasn't improved much at all since he's been in Knoxville. Maymon looked lost as a July Easter egg. It was like he didn't know what to do or where to be in the offense.
Not impressed at all. It's early but CCM teams haven't showed me much.
