Good question about Anthony Hicks. He was a terrific player who changed the trajectory of Xavier basketball under Staak’s guidance. One of Xavier’s best players ever.

First half was disappointing. No energy and sloppy but Ousmane did show some nice shots and Nzeh hustled. Second half showed more of the same as it started. I continued to think why did Xavier even...

Whether it is playing worse or just not improving, this Xavier team has little margin for error. The lack of an inside game has been a problem that has festered all year. No one stepped up to fill...

Referring to one, Steve Thomas. 30 ppg. season. Injury and career over. I was only a kid watching but he was a very special player.

DePaul isn’t very good competition but good showing. Liked Lazar’s three but not certain that is the best place for him. Like Claude playing near the basket as his outside shot is MIA.

Give UCONN credit but not sure why Xavier looks like they don’t belong on the same court. They're clearly better than what has been displayed today but being this flat is inexplicable.

Attended game; solid win despite losing 19 point lead. Guard play was excellent. Hoped for more from Euros but Gytis put up good numbers and he was tough at the end. Bodes well for the future.
