Xavier has three players returning from last season's roster. Has Sean Miller done a good job putting the roster back together? Has X lost too much? Are the portal and NIL ruining college basketball. We get into all that and profile the new additions on this episode of Banter.
Xavier's season came to an end in the NIT, but it's the transfer portal that is the big news now. We discuss what Xavier has lost, what they can gain, and who may yet still leave. There's plenty of time for the NCAA tournament, the mess at Louisville, and our player of the year on this episode of Banter.
Xavier had to do something to help themselves last week and didn't. Instead of dwelling on that we talk Quincy Olivari's snub, the Big East bubble picture, and all the goings on during the best time of the year.
Two wins on the trot, two dominant performances, and one Brad Colbert three have everyone feeling a little better as March hits. Xavier still has a chance, but there's work to do. We'll discuss that, your questions, and the bubble today on Banter.
Sean Miller isn't happy with his team and isn't afraid to express it. Xavier collapsed in games they needed to win and is now off the bubble. We get into the coaches comments, the losses, the bubble, and your questions about this team on this episode of Banter.
Xavier's chances for an at large are all but gone. A week ago the Musketeers needed five wins from eight games. Now, they need five from six. It's all still there, but we have to mine deep into your questions to find a silver lining.
X has played themselves into contention, as has most of the Big East. We dig into the tournament scenarios, talk about Quincy's big game, and discuss whether you should attempt a game tying shot or just let the clock run out.
We could dwell on a 43 point loss, or we could choose to stay positive. Xavier is still in a decent spot and they picked up a win they desperately needed last night. We talk about three games, the bench, and the unsung hero of Xavier's season in this episode of Banter.
It's three on the trot for Xavier, who are playing their way back into contention. We break down the last vital week and look ahead to another one. There's also questions, court storming, Mick Cronin being a goof, and the trash fire at DePaul in this episode of Banter.
Xavier picked up the Q1 they needed and has a chance to consolidate their position this week. We break down what they need to do to get themselves into the at-large conversation, praise Steven Izzo, laugh at Mick Cronin, and talk about six Big East teams in the field in this episode of Banter.
Xavier picked up a nice win before Christmas, but came two Des Claude misses short of another. We talk about Des, Xavier's resume, and the weird world of Mick Cronin on this episode of Banter.
Xavier dispatched Winthrop, but the start of Big East play could hardly have gone worse. We break down a bad loss, the problems with the offense, and try to find a way back into the at large race for X.
Want to spend an hour talking about Xavier winning the Crosstown Shootout again? We did.
One Q3 loss is bad, two can doom a season. Xavier looked good against Houston but somehow dropped two potentially season ruining games to Oakland and Delaware. We discuss those, your questions, and how this team can win the Shootout in this episode of Banter.
Things started late and poorly, but Coach Miller rallied X for two crucial wins. We recap those three, talk rotations and depth, and try to figure out what's going on with Abou Ousmane in this episode of Banter.
Xavier punched with Purdue gamely for all but a stretch of the first half and in doing answered some questions about a callow team. They get a chance to kick on this weekend in their MTE. We discuss that, Ed Cooley losing a lot, and Pitbull in this episode of Banter.
After two games you can't ask for more than two wins. Xavier isn't in top gear yet, but they're winning with a team that is just coming together and getting to know each other. It's good so far, but a seriously stern test awaits.
It's finally time to start talking college basketball again. Xavier is back, but not at all how you remember them. The Musketeers have completely retooled under Coach Sean Miller after losing 10(!) players from last season. We'll break down the roster and talk about how we see it playing out in our season preview episode.
Xavier went back to the Sweet 16 where... things could have gone better. Still, this season was a return to doing what Xavier does. The train is back on the tracks. We discuss that, name an MVP, talk about the impact Sean Miller had, and break down what we know of the roster. There's all of that, and plenty of discussion of the NCAA tournament that gave us more great moments, on the season finale of Banter.
There are only 16 teams left in the NCAA tournament, and Xavier is one of them. This episode focuses on that pivotal Xavier-Texas matchup, how Xavier can win it, and where the danger lies. We'll also look at Xavier's last two wins, coaching changes galore, and preview the other seven games as quickly as we can. Have you remember to tag Coach Miller in your favorite transfer's announcement? Don't worry, we got you.
