BROOKLYN – It's early in the season, but every win matters, and Xavier's men's basketball team found a way to win on Friday night with a depleted roster that was short three starters due to illness and had several others battling through the same illness.
Colby Jones, Jerome Hunter and Dieonte Miles didn't play. Adam Kunkel, who was a game-time decision after missing Wednesday's loss to Iowa State, was able to play.
"I'm not a doctor, I have no idea," Xavier head coach Travis Steele said Friday when asked if his team was dealing with the flu or a virus.
