The Big East is running in sand

Xavier, as you might be aware, hasn't played since December 21st, when they retired from the game at Villanova during the final media timeout. If everything goes perfectly - which is definitely a smart thing to be banking on - they'll go 17 days between games, breaking their elongated rest period with a trip to Butler on Friday.

Though this pause is covid related, Xavier has been completely healthy the entire time. Despite that, the league has both failed to reschedule any of their future games against currently healthy Big East teams to break up the pause and - until very late last week - not given them permission to add a non-conference game.
