So, about last night. Xavier didn’t look good. An optimist might say that Xavier looked like a team that scrapped to stay in a road game against a hot opponent and then made enough plays to win at the end. A pessimist might write the article I did last night.
DePaul is not a good team. Their best win this season is obviously Seton Hall. That makes them 1-6 in conference with a best non-conference win lingering in the Q3 range. Still, they were a Q2 win for Xavier, no matter how heavy the weather X made it.
