The temptation to just copy in a game report from the start (or end) of last season here was tempting. Xavier shot the ball badly. Xavier turned the ball over way too much. Xavier had serious defensive lapses (most notably Zach Freemantle falling asleep during EKU’s last possession). The same things that have plagued Xavier for the last two years, for the Travis Steele Era, plagued them again last night. It was an extremely vexing victory.
But it was a victory. That was in large part to Jason Carter (20/11/4) and his ability to get buckets off the dribble late.
