The story of this week, and maybe the rest of the year, for Xavier is Trevon Bluiett’s ankle. Xavier’s leading scorer and best player is hobbled currently, there’s really no other way to phrase it. The ankle originally went in a game against Seton Hall when Bluiett ended up hitting the game winner with four seconds left. Against Creighton and DePaul there were hints it wasn’t feeling good, but it wasn’t until Trevon fully rolled it again against Villanova that he missed significant time.
Xavier has six regular season games left and then the Big East and (hopefully) NCAA tournaments.
