This game takes place in a situation unlike any other in college sports. These two teams meet not because either needs the boost, both are playing in conferences where they will get more than enough opportunities for that, but in memory of a coach that helped shape both programs. Skip Prosser won 148 games as a coach at Xavier and another 126 with Wake Forest before his death after a morning run. Coach Prosser was so beloved that funeral masses were held in both in North Carolina and Ohio. Nine years later, this game is the way both universities have chosen to honor the man.
