Every high major in the country wants to have a few early season buy games against mediocre opponents. This year is no different.

Definitely seems reasonable to make sweeping conclusions about Steele/Xavier dodging a certain type of non-conference schedule based on what the situation is looking like for 2020-21 across the board...

My guess is that they didn’t want to travel to Orlando and quarantine. Play some games and then return to Cincinnati to quarantine again. These are the times we live in.

Something that Steele points out in a recent Enquirer article is that it’s NOT an even playing court this year. Each school may have its own protocols to follow if someone in the program is found to be positive for a Covid. In Xavier’s case, a positive would mean the whole program going into quarantine for a couple of weeks. That means NO team activities, no meetings, no practices, no games, nothing. However, that’s NOT the case everywhere or with every team. For other programs it could mean only the individual infected going into quarantine while the others are tested, and if found to be not infected they would then be allowed to continue practicing and playing. Teams facing the possibility of a complete shutdown would probably be more cautious than teams not facing that, don’t you think? The schedule is in a state of flux right now as every team/program is kind of groping in the dark, not just X.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. A quantity of crappy wins isn't gonna add up to much, so 10-10 probably may not be enough. It wouldn't shock me if the committee awarded teams that played tough OOC games even more this year since so many teams decided to dump so many of them rather than dump their buy games.

Xavier was fortunate to salvage pars against Missouri and Missouri State last year. Let that sink in with what was supposed to be an experienced roster.
