We know you've known for a while now, but now it's technically official. Xavier will be playing the day before and the day after Thanksgiving in a four-team event against a couple of other high-majors and also Memphis.
Speaking of Memphis, they're actually rated the highest of any team in the field in Bart Torvik's 2022 preseason rankings.
