I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team flip a switch like Xavier did tonight. The Twittersphere was aflame early in the first half as the Musketeers did their best impression of a bunch of young men already wondering what they would find under the Christmas tree come the morning of the 25th. (After church, of course). At one point in time Eastern Washington led 22-11. That’s EWU, 253rd in the KenPom rankings, 187th in the Massey Composite, absolutely taking it to a team that came into the season harboring Final Four aspirations.
Coming back from a break on FS1 the cameras in the huddle caught Chris Mack making a defensive adjustment.
