There were no speed bumps or roadblocks Tuesday night at the Cintas Center in Xavier's 2019-20 season opener against Jacksonville.
Xavier, the No. 19 team in the Associated Press top-25 poll, did what it wanted in a 76-57 win.
Xavier looked solid at both ends, but no one's getting crowned after one game, especially because the Dolphins weren't much of a test.
With 4:28 left in the game and his team ahead by 17 points, 64-47, head coach Travis Steele was still tearing into his team during a timeout because Jacksonville was on a 7-0 run.
