What did you expect this season?
Not: what were you hoping for because it’s your favorite team, but what did you actually expect?
Looking at this in a vacuum, if you take away the names and the faces and the affinity you have for both, this was always going to be a tough season. Xavier brought back one guy who took more than 16% of the team’s shots when he was on the floor; that’s Tyrique Jones, who barely played a third of the available minutes.
Xavier scored 2,953 points last season; fewer than 1,000 of them came back this year.
