It wasn't the prettiest four-game stretch and it could have ended a lot worse had it not been for two miraculous – for very different reasons – road wins.
Xavier's men's basketball team was able to split its last four games, making the Musketeers 15-5 overall and 5-4 in the Big East Conference.
Xavier's 4-4 in its last eight games, although six of those games were against teams currently ranked in the top 75 in the NET, the NCAA's primary team evaluation tool (Xavier sits at No. 20 as of Monday).
But the Musketeers haven't looked like a complete team recently, struggling with incomplete performances and stretches of inefficiency, particularly in the first half of games.
