CINCINNATI -- There is no rest for the weary Xavier Musketeers, who had three days to recover from a loss to Arizona State before hosting No. 16 Baylor on Tuesday night at Cintas Center.
Three days wouldn't seem like ample time to fix the defensive issues that led to No. 21 Xavier's 102-86 loss to the Sun Devils at the Las Vegas Classic. But, it's all part of the development process for head coach Chris Mack, who has a long history of teams that are much better in February than they are in November.
"It exposes weaknesses, maybe where you're vulnerable at that stage of the year," Mack said of early losses.
