There’s no question that Xavier could use a lot more than 25 minutes of a 44 offensive rating from their senior point guard. Looking at those numbers alone, there’s an argument to be made that Q was Xavier’s worst player on Friday night. Three turnovers, five fouls, and no made shots would bolster that argument.
And yet Xavier also looked lost without Goodin on the floor. While UConn made their run and threatened to hang on to win, Q was on the bench. Bryce Moore spent some time at point guard but struggled to get into offense and finished with no assists.
