When you're as talented and deep as No. 10-ranked Xavier basketball, you can overcome plenty of deficiencies.
Saturday's home date with the East Tennessee State Buccaneers provided a bevy of tests that weren't foreseen prior to the game, including a 22-point deficit in the second half, a shorthanded bench and short week of practice coming out of the university's finals week.
As a sign of the raw talent of the 2017-18 Musketeers, they overcame all of that.
Senior Xavier guard Trevon Bluiett capped the Musketeers' (10-1) 22-point comeback with a game-winning, step-back jumper with 6.8 seconds to play in regulation of Saturday's 68-66 victory against ETSU (6-4) to lift.
