Analysis: Inconsistent is an understatement after Xavier's home loss to St. John's
Inconsistent isn't a strong enough word to describe Xavier's men's basketball team at the moment.
Confounding and confusing might be more appropriate descriptors for a team that just went from its best 40-minute performance in months against UConn on Friday only to look like a completely different team on Wednesday against St. John's.
It's a mystery that would stump Sherlock Holmes.
To bag a Quad 1 win at home over No. 24 UConn in a game where Xavier did all the little things right and played with profound toughness, then follow it up with a Quad 3 double-digit loss at home to St. John's where toughness and attention to detail were nowhere to be found is baffling.
