Without Sumner, the margin for off nights is gone
X already had slumped with Ed. Now without him, they need production from previously inconsistent performers such as Quentin Goodin, Kaiser Gates, and everyone over 6'8". We will talk about Goodin's night in a bit, but Gates was key to Xavier erasing Seton Hall's lead halfway through the second half, and Sean O'Mara was back to being a problem for the opposition's defense.
Goodin is still a raw talent
Quentin Goodin was handed the reins of this team much sooner than anyone was expecting, but came away with some very positive signs in his second college start.
