We're counting down our favorite Muskies of the last 10 seasons and there's no better place to start than with Jason Love.
Jason played for Xavier for 4 years from 2006-2007 through 2009-2010. He is the perfect example of a Xavier basketball player. The Philly native was under the radar when D1 coaches were recruiting his class. His Freshman year, he played a total of 76 minutes. But as many had before him, he worked hard and practiced against the big men in front of him and steadily received more and more playing time. By his Senior year, he was a major key to Xavier's success. His progression in minutes per game each year was 4.0 / 18.0 / 21.7 / 27.8; points per game:1.1 / 6.0 / 6.7 / 11.8; rebounds per game: 1.1 / 5.5 / 5.9 / 8.7 . Jason Love is the winning-est Musketeer of all time, meaning that he was part of more wins (108) than anyone in school history! His teams also won 8 NCAA Tournament games, also most in XU history.
Thanks to Jason for all the hard work he did at X and the great impressions he's left on Xavier. Best of luck to him as he continues to play professionally in Belgium and makes us proud!
