This season could have died a lot of times. Xavier could have fully no showed the Cleveland State game. Xavier could have surrendered after Paul Scruggs suffered the torn ACL that ended his career as a Musketeer. Xavier could have rolled over down nine with 6:05 to play tonight. Instead, Xavier has, belatedly, found something. Team 100 is fighting on, and fighting on in a pretty special way.The question with the NIT is always how much the team will care. This team, now, cares very much.
Perhaps no one embodies that fight more than Adam Kunkel (14/4/4).
