Tomorrow - tomorrow! - the 2020-2021 season finally gets out of the blocks for Xavier. The Muskies will be tipping at noon in a weirdly belated opener to what figures to be a weird season. A week after that, UC will finally tip off against Lipscomb on December 2. On December 6th, the teams will clash on UC’s home court. It will be Xavier’s fifth game of the season and Cinci’s second.
Last season was a transitional one for the Bearcats, and not a particularly smooth one. Xavier fans remember how important it is to land big wins in the non-con when you play in a mid-major league, and UC failed to do that.
