This season marks the 30th anniversary of Xavier's first trip to the Sweet 16

It was an up and down season for Xavier basketball. Here's a look back and a look ahead to what's coming in 2019-2020 Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com

“It was special because no one thought we could win.”

It was the night before arguably the biggest basketball game in Xavier University history and Jamie Gladden couldn’t sleep.

“Every single year that March Madness starts, that game’s the first thing I think about. When Xavier gets to the Sweet 16, I feel like I’m ready to play. Thirty years went by really fast, but for me, it still feels like yesterday,” said Gladden, who was a freshman for the Musketeers back in 1989-1990.
