Last Thursday Xavier was steaming out to a 7-0 start by absolutely demolishing a team that is either a solid mid-major or the absolute class of the low majors. The Musketeers rolled NDSU by 30 and didn’t even look mildly troubled in doing it. Fast forward a week and Xavier has lost two straight and looked really troubling in doing it. Baylor and Colorado both capitalized on terrible Musketeer second halves to pull away or take the lead. Xavier’s offense countered by disappearing almost completely while the defense melted under the pressure.
Now, Xavier has another challenge coming up.
