"Earliest" era - Xavier alumni build Schmidt fieldhouse which is dedicated with victory in the first meeting vs UC.
No 5 Xavier beating No 1 Villanova at Cintas was a pretty big Xavier day - not just the win but everything that it took to get there especially Bill Daily and Fr. Hoff.
And of course, the biggest day of all for Xavier basketball is yet to come.Last edited by WCWIII; 08-12-2022 at 09:03 AM.

I think the Georgetown game was a big turning point. I was a young pup at the time and remember thinking there's no chance we're going to win. It just completely re-focused what was possible.
To that point, where does that team finish in the current Big East? There was some great talent on that team - maybe not too much depth however.

I don’t have the history many on here do. West coming back was awesome. Player of the year….get his jersey retired while still a player was amazing. But, the early loss in the tournament hurts. I look at that year as an overall disappointment (despite the craziness of March). I was more disappointed that year than the loss of the 1/2 seed years. But that’s because we won a big east championship and accomplished something I never thought possible (a 2 seed….then a 1 seed. Still crazy to think about)
Miller coming back brings back hope. I don’t know that people realize how close X was to completely falling off. It’s extremely difficult to rebuild programs. Especially in the big east. If we don’t land Sean- and miss on the next hire…toast. Miller coming back instantly changes the trajectory of the program in a way nothing else could. I’ve never been more excited in off-season news than Sean coming back.Last edited by Xavier; 08-12-2022 at 11:59 PM.
