As amusing as it was to watch Ryan Day and Ohio State once more spit the bit at Michigan, this is firmly college basketball season in my mind, The team in Ohio that matters at the moment is the Xavier Musketeers. Xavier, for the second year in a row, has started at 4-2. Last season at this time X was 32nd in the KenPom (after starting at 38th), this year they are 29th after starting at 34th. Things on the surface are much the same. It would be hard to blame any casual college basketball fan who looked and thought “same old Xavier.
