Xavier is currently 10-3 on the season. They are 5-0 in Q4, 2-0 in Q3, 2-0 in Q2, and 1-3 in Q1. Enough ink has been spilled on how close all three of those losses have been, but the bottom line is that a resume is a results-oriented thing and all three of those games ended with Xavier losses.
So you might be as surprised as I was to see Joe Lunardi tweet this out the other day:
