Xavier head coach Travis Steele stressed defense following a 91-85 win over Evansville on Saturday, Nov. 10 Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com
Through two narrow games to start the college basketball season, Xavier is 2-0, but both games were decided in the second half because the Musketeers have yet to put a complete performance on display.
There were stretches Saturday night in Xavier's 91-85 win over Evansville where the Musketeers looked like a complete team, but those flashes were too few and far between, and those moments paled in comparison to the successful trips down the floor for Evansville's offense, which broke Xavier's school record for 3-pointers by an opponent (17).
