Walking into Xavier University's Cintas Center through the freight and service entrance, a quick right turn sends you staring at a pretty glaring change to the venue: There's a wall missing in the hallway adjacent to the Courtside Club.
Actually, parts of two walls cinderblock walls were no longer standing as of May 2.
Perhaps not surprisingly, this is the work of freshly-minted Xavier head coach Travis Steele.
The cliched phrase "hit the ground running" doesn't do justice to the work Steele and his staffers have been juggling in their first weeks on the job since Steele's March 31 hire.
