The Xavier Musketeers are coming off of their best season in program history—a school-best 26-4 regular season record, 13 straight weeks ranked in the top 10, and a No. 5 ranking in the AP Poll and No. 4 in the Coaches’ Poll, the highest rankings ever received for a Xavier team.
Unfortunately, the dream season came to a nightmarish halt. First, there was the loss in the Big East Tournament semifinals. Then, they were knocked out in the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament by a buzzer beater.
Xavier is looking forward to getting a chance to fix and improve upon last year’s unfortunate end.
