Some games are better left buried. Tear up the box score, remove the rear-view mirror from the bus and get out of town.

That's a good way to describe what happened when Xavier visited Colombia, Missouri, in December last year, but the Musketeers must learn from last year's failure to be successful this season.

Nothing went right last season. Missouri outplayed Xavier in every facet. The Musketeers made 19 shots in that game, turned the ball over 17 times and at one point, trailed by 29 points.
