The season started with excellence and ended in total heartbreak. How will you remember one of the best teams Xavier has ever put together?
The things that we love inevitably end badly. Alfred Lord Tennyson said it was better to have loved and lost to have never loved at all, and in doing so he hit on the main quandary facing Xavier fans this March. Team 94 was a thing of beauty in its pomp, a nearly unstoppable machine that carried Xavier basketball to heights it had never hit before. Team 94 also did one other thing mostly unheard of in the long tradition of the Musketeers, it crashed out of the tournament having failed to reach anything near the heights it should have.
