Well that was a butt-kicking. On to the next one.
This looked like it was either a well-planned warmup game or an insidious trap game before the Crosstown Shootout. Turns out it was the warmup one. Xavier overmatched Wright State from early doors and was up through the gears before the Raiders were ready to respond. The entire second half was basically a victory lap, and now Xavier has three days to prepare for the biggest non-conference game contested anywhere in the nation.
The defense is locked in
When Wright State center Michael Karena hit a jump hook with 15:18 left to play in the first half, Xavier was up just 8-6.
