We’ve already previewed the Xavier v. Texas game, but - with a week to look at the program’s most important matchup in 5 years - there’s a lot of digging we can still do. It doesn’t take John Wooden to realize that Texas is a really good team that can give Xavier trouble in a multitude of areas.
It’s the nature of a certain type of fan to be able to catastrophize any perceived matchup weakness in the run up to a game, and I happen to have a little bit of that in me. I’m also more of an optimist by nature, so I can see the silver lining of hope in every dark cloud of brewing disaster.
