NEW YORK – The future is never certain. It's a hard thing to ever grasp fully because it's never easily understood, and it's always there waiting for you to try.

The last two weeks have been defined by change and change always comes with questions.

With the final buzzer on the 2021-22 season sounding on Thursday in Madison Square Garden, it's impossible to not wonder about the future.
Xavier beat Texas A&M 73-72 to win the National Invitation Tournament championship, and after the trophy was hoisted and the nets were cut down, the future – and what happens next – becomes the most important question facing the Musketeers.
