The point of an exhibition game is for a team to gain a better understanding of what's working and what isn't.
Xavier's exhibition on Wednesday against Division II Kentucky Wesleyan was successful on that front, although it may have been a more uncomfortable experience than the Musketeers would have liked.
Xavier won 80-62, closing the game with a 17-2 run, and holding the Panthers scoreless over the final 6:13.
But with 6:13 left it was a 65-62 game.
A lot was revealed over the course of 40 minutes. Here's what we learned from the first look at the 2022-23 Musketeers.
