Xavier basketball was rolling to a nerve-wracking end to the season, then a global pandemic hit the brakes so hard I went right into the windshield. We’ve shaken ourselves off a bit here and will continue, somewhat belatedly, with our breakdown of one of the weirdest Xavier seasons on record.
Before last season tipped off, Dontarius James was tabbed as an obvious candidate for a transfer. He didn’t have a lot of playing time under his belt, and it was clear that Xavier had recruited over him. It’s not uncommon for a coach’s first class to be a complete washout, and Travis Steele was clearly viewing his as such.
