Because of Xavier's participation in the exhibition tour down in Brazil in August, they are allowed to get a head start on practice this summer. Everyone is in town and has participated, including all 6 freshmen.

Musketeer Madness will be Friday, October 24th meaning we are less than 3 months from Xavier basketball people!!!

Gotta tame the excitement everyone, but we're getting closer and closer every day by my math.
