According to Coach Steele in today's press conference, Quentin Goodin will not play in the team's home opener against IUPUI. Goodin, who has been recovering from a dislocated left shoulder, has been Xavier's point guard since taking over the position midway through his freshman season when Ed Sumner went down.
Steele said Q probably could play against the Jaguars, but the better move for him and the team is to exercise some patience and play for the long term. Q has been participating in non-contact practice, getting extra shots up, and keeping his conditioning in game shape.
