What a week for Colby Jones. Lost in everything that goes with being the level of athlete that can play for Xavier and the forced maturity that can bring is the heartbreak must come in quiet moments for a young man that just lost his grandfather. The emotion was clear on Jones’ face as a curious combination of elation and sorrow as he fought back tears after his game winner.
And what a game winner it was. There’s nothing better than a cup of tea and game tape (except maybe scoring 28 against Pittsburgh in the first quarter), so here we sit with another huge shot for Xavier and one, it doesn’t feel like an exaggeration to say, that came at a vital time in the season.
