With 14:28 to play in the first half, Xavier led 9-3. By the time it had taken them 19 minutes to score their next 20 points, the patient was non-responsive. A Missouri team that is going nowhere this year steamrolled a Xavier group that looked like it took this game to fund its athletic department.
More troublingly than the boat race that come out of it was Xavier's approach to it. If you can tell me what this team's plan or identity is at this point in the year, more power to you. The defense was shredded by Jeremiah Tilmon, a big man whose ORtg coming in was well below 100.
