Via @ENQSports: https://t.co/Ltp9HYpFfW— Adam Baum (@AdamJBaum) March 12, 2021Xavier had been looking to add a game to the schedule after being eliminated from the Big East tournament for a simple and obvious reason: their resume demands it. They're 6-7 in the top two quads and recently added a Q3 loss in the most painful manner possible. No reasonable fan or member of the program is comfortable or even that optimistic heading into Selection Sunday.
