Tip off time gets closer every month.
I miss having Shannon write up the Muskies in the Enquirer, so got the Athletic subscription to read her thoughts, and others who have left papers/stations and now write there.
She has a lengthy article dissecting Team 98, player by player, with good commentary on all facets of what the team faces in the coming year.
She notes our two biggest challenges from last year, with thoughts on how they will be addressed.
Well worth the read if you have a subscription and are craving for some basketball news during September.Can Xavier curb self-destructive habits from last season, including its abundance of turnovers and dangerous allowance of catch-and-shoot 3-pointers?

Shannon’s coverage of Xavier is the only reason I pay for The Athletic. Well worth it the money.

I love the Athletic. Shannon does a great job, but their soccer coverage is also very good.

While I appreciate being on this list, I'm pretty sure our school was founded before 1900.

Yes, but the article states : "The arena was built in 2000 thanks to plenty of private donations to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Xavier, and the basketball team quickly grew to love its new digs." Originally Posted by deepX

Shannon linked to this in Facebook. I’m sorry, but that’s kind of embarrassing.
