Another game, another big challenge for Xavier head coach Chris Mack.
For the occasion of a Tuesday visit to Cintas Center by the Marshall Thundering Herd (6:30 p.m.), Mack might have some personnel issues on his hands due to injury and suspension.
Mack confirmed at his day-before news conference Monday that the injured J.P. Macura and Kaiser Gates didn’t practice Sunday while freshmen Paul Scruggs and Elias Harden, who were suspended for Saturday’s win over East Tennessee State, rejoined their teammates for Sunday’s practice.
