On March 20th, 2022 Xavier played Florida. Jonas Hayes was going to be the head coach, Paul Scruggs was the senior captain, and Travis Steele had just been fired. The Musketeers had played an absolutely wretched game against Cleveland State that it appeared neither the team nor their fans were terribly interested in. It was the nadir of the current era of Xavier basketball.
Xavier is set to play Florida again tomorrow. Sean Miller is going to be the head coach, the team is senior laden, and no one (hopefully) is getting fired. The day before each game could hardly be different.
