Farewell, Paul Scruggs
Never tell me Xavier didn’t love Paul ScruggsPaul Scruggs: 151 games, Per game: 10.8/3.9/3.4 Shooting: .452/.740/.345
Paul Scruggs deserved to go out so much better than he did. Xavier’s talismanic, junkyard dog of a super senior shouldn’t have had to walk back out on crutches to the applause of a crowd that had always supported him. He should have gotten to celebrate an NIT championship with his teammates, he should be getting ready for a professional career and, possibly, the NBA draft. Instead, Scruggs senior season ended in a heap on the floor at the Cintas Center.
