Season in Review: Part One covered the departure of Chris Mack and the appointment of Travis Steele as his successor to put the program back together after an unprecedented departure of talent.

Xavier hit the Big East portion of the slate at 8-5. In that record came a 2-2 in their last four, with the two losses each being by 15 points to first UC in the Shootout, and then to Missouri in a complete capitulation in Columbia.
