With the World Cup having dominated the sporting headlines over the summer, Xavier has been building out their roster and beginnings of their schedule as well as getting back to work on and in the court in preparation for year two of the Richard Pitino Era. Roster building Xavier has added two final pieces to […]
One thing Xavier still needed was a little depth. Sure, they had retained their best player and the guy who was supposed to be their best player, added a point guard, added an elite defender, and added a shooter, but sometimes guys need to rest, right? Yes, Evan Miyakawa did say the roster as compiled […]
First the news: NEWS: UAB guard Chance Westry has committed to Xavier. Westry averaged 15.5 PPG and was named Second Team All-Conference this season. pic.twitter.com/2hOTAg5ZkF — Rebound Rundown (@ReboundRundown) April 15, 2026 Xavier had lost quite a bit in terms of perimeter presence with Malik Messina-Moore and Isaiah Walker having exhausted their eligibility and Roddie […]
So this Richard Pitino guy might have a bit about him. Xavier has landed Tru Washington from the portal. That means that the roster currently stands at eight players, with Kason Westphal hanging in limbo but predicted to return at the moment. Xavier’s team last season was fun to watch and tried incredibly hard at […]
“Commits” is an odd choice of words in this age of the portal, but I used it and I’m sticking with it. Here is another phrase that may sound odd to you: 23 year old college sophomore. That is what 6-6, 213 Ruben Dominguez is. The other thing he is now is a Xavier Musketeer. […]
First, the news: Sometimes the biggest acquisition is simply the lack of a departure, and I think that’s going to end up being the case here. Pozzato was slated to be a big piece of Xavier’s attack last season, but a torn meniscus in the summer required surgical repair, and he was ultimately shut down […]
As most college basketball fans know, the portal opened shortly after One Shining Moment wrapped on Monday night. Since then, well over 1,000 players have put their names into the portal. This morning, it appears that Xavier has gained commitment from one of those players, and a good one at that. Mike Nwoko joins the […]
The college basketball season ended last night. It ended well, with UConn battling gamely against Michigan but ultimately coming up just short. Some really boneheaded fouls and the inability to make a shot against the Wolverines suffocating defense did them in. Somehow the Huskies were in it at the end, but for once they couldn’t […]
Every March it begins anew. “There weren’t enough upsets… where are all the mid-majors?… no one wants to see a .500 power conference team… no more Cinderellas… this was better years ago… the magic is gone.” Those are the familiar complaints about the second most watched sporting event in the United States. There is functionally […]
The immediate news hadn’t been good for Xavier: All Wright and Roddie Anderson are out the door, leaving the Musketeers without a single player in the backcourt. Returning someone was going to be critical for Coach Richard Pitino going into his second year. Tre Carroll wasn’t walking back in the door, so it was vital […]
