Xavier basketball hasn’t always been a ton of fun the last few years. That’s not anyone on the team’s fault, by the way, they’ve all gotten out there and gone at it hammer and tongs. Unfortunately, that hasn’t always ended in success. That started to change with Sean Miller being named coach again and then an incredible run through the NIT.
Last night felt like a cleansing. BJ Raymond for three and then a memorable run straight back off the court will be the crowning moment, but so many incredible things happened.
Dee Davis, at first underappreciated and then beloved while he was at Xavier, threw a no look alley oop to Kaiser Gates, who left school early and didn’t get that finish to his time at X.
