Can the heroic 15 seeded 2006 Xavier squad make some more March magic?

The Xavier Sweet 16* features all 19 Xavier teams from the KenPom era in one bracket where Twitter polls will decide the winners. Here’s your 15 seed, the 2006 Xavier Musketeers!

Sean Miller was in his second season at the helm for Xavier after Thad Matta bolted in the night for Ohio State, leaving the cupboard a bit bare.
