Xavier have (almost) stopped shooting themselves in the foot

Sometimes in sports, things can be frustrating to watch without being bad. Jose Mourinho's most successful teams or Rafael Betancourt's taking 45 seconds between pitches leap to mind as two examples that won't land with our target demographic. What will land is the perfect overlap between frustrating and bad that is ending a possession with a turnover in basketball.

Xavier was all over this in the non-conference schedule this year. Through those 11 games, they were turning the ball over on 20.8% of their offensive possessions, which is quite bad. They were 254th in the nation, which is a horrible mark for a high-major with tournament aspirations.
