Keys to Xavier winning the NIT (Banners On The Parkway)

Xavier is in contention for a national postseason tournament title for the first time since 1958. This NIT final is the first final Xavier has appeared in ...

A win tonight would cap the season and be the Musketeers fifth straight for the first time since the run that ended with a win December 18th. If he puts the ball on the deck and and heads for the rim at some point in the first two wars, things are going to go well for him. They were staggered by a terrible run down the stretch, regrouped for senior night, then blew a lead and lost to Butler. After escaping Cleveland State, the team lost their leader, rallied to win that game, and then added another two victories. Xavier’s bigs need to either keep the relentless A&M offensive rebounding machine in check, or answer them like for like. Xavier is in contention for a national postseason tournament title for the first time since 1958. Recently he’s been sharing point guard duties with Adam Kunkel’s, whose turnover numbers in those same spans are 12.6%/10.6%. Kunkel has run the point for long stretches in the NIT and may be Xavier’s best choice tonight, He doesn’t initiate a ton of offense, but he cares for the ball.

Team 100 and the joy of basketball (Banners On The Parkway)

This was not the easiest of seasons to be a Xavier basketball fan. The incredible start to the season, an 11-1 start in which Xavier beat Oklahoma State, ...

That Xavier Nation got behind a team playing in what is inarguably a consolation tournament is both a testament to the fanbase and to the team. Basketball is the best. By the time the stakes were back, so was Xavier’s swagger and joy. The team rallied around their fallen leader, the fans rallied around the team. A roaring St. Bonaventure crowd led by the cheerleaders in ESPNs booth were no match for Xavier’s first punch. It was basketball for the sake of basketball. Of course the team always cares far more than the fans, but they want to see that. I wrote that I had become Yossarian, tied to hoping for the success of a thing that I very did much not like. It’s all running and intricate movement, finesse meshed with gross motor skills to see who can be the most precise and the most ruthless until it’s done. The NCAA tournament was starting the next day though, and that’s always worth excitement. Sometime during that game against CSU Joel, encamped next to Andy Mac and I high in the press bunker, opined that we could be watching the end and, even worse, that it was hard to feel bad about that. When the boos (absurdly) rained down at Cintas it seemed that the team had sown the wind and was reaping the whirlwind.
