When you’ve gotta stuff as many non-conference games as possible in the span between November 25th and December 12th, there isn’t much time for rest days. Xavier will be experiencing that by the time Tennessee Tech rolls into town, as it will be their fifth game in eight days after playing zero games in the previous eight months.
Fortunately, Tennessee Tech isn’t supposed to be that good. Depending on who you believe, the Golden Eagles will be not only the worst Golden Eagles on Xavier’s schedule, but the worst team on the schedule with any mascot by a wide margin.
