Take a moment. Take a couple of deep breaths. Look outside at a landscape of snow. Things are going to be alright. Despite what you may have read on Twitter after Xavier lost their first game, the sky is not actually falling on the Musketeers. The eighth best offensive rebounding team and fourth best shot blocking team in the nation, a team that has already beaten USC and lost to Creighton by just four, rebounded, blocked shots, and beat a Xavier team that had played just two games in 34 days.
It would have been the height of foolhardy to expect much more than an eight point loss out of Xavier on Saturday.
