It finally feels like fall up here. Granted, that’s a passing illusion, but the grey, cool days are a reminder that the basketball season is not far away. Xavier won’t enter that season as the known quantity that they have been recently. The Musketeers are down their winningest head coach ever, multiple high level recruits, and will be blooding a new coach that has never been the head man in a college game. All of this is a big ask for a team that is expected to compete at the top of the Big East just by dint of signing up for the season.
