Xavier forward Zach Hankins on the challenge Miami (Oh.) presents Wednesday night at the Cintas Center Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com
About four hours before tipoff Wednesday, with Oxford's Miami RedHawks ready to invade the Cintas Center, Travis Steele told his Xavier Musketeers that he wanted 40 minutes, a full game.
It took seven games, but he finally got it in an emphatic 82-55 win that looked like the Musketeers' most-complete game of the season.
Xavier executed and exerted its will at both ends of the floor. The offense helped the defense and the defense led to offense.
