What One Play in Xavier History Would you Change?

If I am recalling correctly I believe Blueitt went down with a sprained ankle and was out a couple games after after Ed went down also.

Correct. The 1st game of the 6 game losing streak was against Nova and Tre only played 19 mins that game and had to come out after hurting his ankle.

Tre did not play the next 2 games. He was back for losses 4, 5, and 6 but clearly was limited.

That 6 game losing streak had to do more with Tre's injury than Sumner's, especially considering Xavier won the 1st 3 games after Sumner's injury.

Sumner got hurt against St. Johns actually. He played 29 mins, not sure when he got hurt but wasn't the 1st min.

Xavier won the next 3 in a row after that including beating ranked Creighton on the road then they lost 6 in a row. X went 6-7 without Ed (including BE tourney but not NCAA tourney).

I agree with your overall point though. That team was very talented with one of the best duos in X history.

very weird. my source was sports reference .com and it has his game log. Shows 1 minute against DePaul. Prior game to that was in fact St. Johns.

BUT, now I just noticed that the DePaul game was supposedly on March 4, which makes NO sense.

Nonethe less that team had FF potential, and maybe overachieved with the E8 without Sumner...

When was it then that Villanova tried to decapitate Sumner? Was that the year before? I could have sworn he missed some games after that, but now I think maybe he didn't? Those three years are pretty blurry for me...probably trying to block out those early tourney losses as much as possible lol

the elite 8 game against Duke wasnt more painful? A trip to the Final 4?

This was the most painful game in my years of watching. Still to do this day feel like we got screwed by the officials for some questionable fouls that caused Myles to be in foul trouble. Think we could have beat Duke if not for the officials.

Yeah, the year before. He missed the next 3 games.

The play they made to hire Travis Steele.

I keep thinking the 4 years of Steele is worth it in the long run to have Miller back.

I find it hard to believe that anyone else we would have hired would have been of the caliber that Miller is and as long as Miller doesn’t leave again (or at least stays a long while until he does) I think the Steele disaster was worth it in the long run since it brought Miller back.

the play where chris mack blew out his knee (as a player, not coach). If he never blew out his knew, he wouldn't have met his wife while rehabbing. they never get married then. she doesn't get him to leave to go to lousiville. We then never end up hiring steele as HC.
