Thanksgiving weekend is something of an unofficial kick off to the college basketball season. Teams that have gorged themselves on cupcakes finally test themselves against some real competition on neutral sites spanning the continent and the clock. If you’re awake and have a satellite dish, chances are there’s an interesting game on. Off the back of that, some teams take a moment to recharge their batteries before plunging through the holiday season and on into conference play.
Xavier has chosen to take that route by scheduling Southeastern Louisiana for the week after they get back from the Phil Knight Invitational.
