You can be forgiven if you’d like to leave portions of 2017 in the past. To put it mildly, the political scene of America was hewn in two, protest became a de rigueur part of life, and an Indians team that won 22 straight games somehow couldn’t win one in three tries when it mattered. Whether on the macro or micro level 2017 wasn’t a good one for you, there was one shining bright spot: The Xavier Musketeers.
Xavier dumped six straight in conference play but, in vintage Xavier fashion, rallied when it counted and raced to the Elite Eight.
