For the first time in over a fortnight, Xavier will be kitting up and taking the floor. Back in December, Xavier ended their game against Nova down just a bucket. The Wildcats insisted on playing another 4 minutes to make it an even 40; Xavier’s participation was nominal at best, the Nova ended up winning by 13. Despite being fully healthy since then, Xavier lost games to covid pauses in the Connecticut and Georgetown programs and passive rescheduling practices of the league. X is still 15th in WAB, 22nd in the AP poll, and in a solid position in the league table.
