How many games in a row do you think Xavier can win against increasingly difficult Big East competition on consecutive days with an NCAA tournament bid on the line? Until I’m proven wrong, I’m going to assume the answer is four, but let’s make it a bit easier on our guys and see if we can find a way to win that first one for them.
I’m referring, of course, to the Big East’s practice of giving the top six teams in the league a bye to the second round of the conference tournament. Xavier is currently tied for last in the league, so there’s some work to do.
