Since returning to campus from a five-day Christmas break, Xavier men's basketball senior transfer Malcolm Bernard said he's noticed a change in how his teammates conduct business.
"There's been a lot more leadership out on the floor and I think we're more aggressive on our approach on how we're attacking (the) conference," Bernard told reporters at a Tuesday press conference at Cintas Center. "I think we're playing harder. We're more physical. Everyone looks more confident."
Bernard might be more sensitive than most to the shift in attitude and posturing Xavier's undergone.
