Usually I take Monday morning to catch everyone up on the goings on in the NET. I even have a fun little title that I’m proud of and essentially no one else has noticed. 90% of the time, that’s a good use of the first day of the week. It’s a grounding, a look at the wider world of college basketball to see Xavier’s place in it. It’s a reminder that this truly is a marathon.
But marathons end at some point. No one sets out on an excruciatingly long run and doesn’t pick their head up to have a look at the finish line from time to time.
