What a disaster of a tournament....after falling apart and coughing up what would've been a big win over #23 Iowa, X loses to Tennessee in a revenge game and then to USC on Day 3.
Free throws and turnovers continued to be a problem. Xavier came in 5-0, all wins at home, and leaves 5-3, with an 0-3 record in road/neutral games. NOT good for the resume come March! The good news is that there are a lot of young guys on the team and they will only learn from this. Hopefully it also lights a fire under some of the veterans and pushes them to up their game.
The friendly confines of Cintas Center should help heal the woes and the December slate leaves plenty of chances to turn it around. Bowling Green comes to X Saturday, followed by Evansville next week. Then the Shootout, at Alabama, Wake Forest, and St. John's. All in December. Let's put November behind us and have a much better December.
Go Muskies!
