We got a March preview doubleheader Wednesday night in Tulsa and off (Hard) Victory Parkway. Desperation can be the best motivator.
Sometimes, winning is a DNA thing. Xavier had 2 days to adjust to playing without E. Sumner and with a freshman point guard. It was a nice job of coaching, helped a bunch by the emerging play and confidence of Quentin Goodin. Eight points, seven assists, two clutch free throws in the final minute.
