Xavier hits the Christmas break at 10-2. That is, by almost any measure, a successful non-conference performance. There is one game still remaining, but that one has its own narrative attached, it’s a lot more than just non-conference. Despite that success, Xavier hasn’t left the impression of a team on the edge of dominance. Fellow Big East mates Creighton have beaten Wisconsin, dropped 112 on NC State, and pounded some decent teams in Akron and Arizona St. Right now, they look good and they are getting the publicity that comes with it. X has good wins as well, but they’ve lost their only two true road games and squeaked by in some games that the consensus held they should have run away with.
What will Myles Davis bring this team?
