Xavier is undefeated this season. Xavier is playing poorly for large parts of this season. Both of those statements are true, but only one actually matters going forward. As Xavier struggles to take care of the ball against even token pressure, the metrics for the coming schedule looks worse and worse.
Xavier turned the ball over on more than 20% of their possessions against Bradley and EKU. You may recognize those as Xavier's closest wins so far. Against Oakland Xavier was average with ball retention but, frankly, it didn't matter. Against Toledo the Musketeers were excellent with the ball but struggled with shot making.
