Xavier Win Drives Musketeer Merchandise For Local Business

... Xavier’s Elite Eight garb is flying off the shelves at the Crable Factory Outlet in Springdale. Chris Huster, of Deer Park, was one of the first in line Friday, and she took home 10 of the T-shirts. “I have four children.

And really to be able to offer a location to Xavier to host young alumni, things like that where they know they have a good spot and a friendly spot to watch the Muskies,” co-owner Adam Stowe said. “We still feel very connected to Xavier.

Xavier Basketball Is Set Up For A Great 2017-18 Season

... up to be more than an occasional contributor, but his footwork and basketball IQ draw raves and his release on his shot is nice and high. I think he’ll develop into the kind of guy opposing fans really hate getting beaten by. If you could combine Big Sean and Tyrique Jones , you’d have the National POY. Instead, you have one guy who has dazzling footwork and a deft touch on the post and one guy who is meaner than a junkyard dog, crazy athletic, and unrefined on offense. Coach Mack has a great 1-2 punch with these guys and figures to be able to match whatever the game requires with one of them. Stan Szeto-USA TODAY Sports. Former Iowa State PF Brady Ernst will join Xavier by way of Indian Hills Community College. Ernst injured his knee as a senior in high school, redshirted his freshman year at ISU because of it, and then played this season at IHCC. He averaged __link__/0.4 on.637/.000/.726 shooting. The 6’10”, 230-pound post will have three years of eligibility remaining when he gets to Xavier. Joining him will be Kentrevious Jones, a 6’11” monster center. He was up around 300 pounds a year ago - thanks in part to a foot injury that ...

Cut Down The Nets Into Existence

... Then it clicked with the players. This was preparation for Saturday night at the SAP Center. Not the game itself against what was then a to-be-determined opponent, but in anticipation of the celebration after they won the 2017 NCAA Tournament’s West Region. Different players perceived the act of slicing through the twine differently. For freshman forward Tyrique Jones, the underlying message resonated. “To me, it meant a little different because, growing up, my mom always taught me if you want something to happen, speak it into existence,” Jones said. “So, when we went into the auxiliary gym, coach said we have to cut down the nets. That’s basically saying the same thing. So, we want to cut down the nets into existence. So, if we come here in this four-team tournament and if we win the first and have a chance to win the second game, we’re going to do the same thing we did back in the auxiliary gym.”. Freshman guard ...

Arizona lost 73-71. Mike Christy / Arizona Daily Star. I have been as guilty as anyone in labeling Xavier as something less than an elite basketball school, but much like Wichita State, I now understand that the Musketeers and Shockers are Top 25 programs with a bite. Xavier’s recruiting Class of 2014 is the reason it beat Arizona last week. In retrospect, it was a Top 10 or 15 class. The Musketeers’ top player, Trevon Bluiett was a four-star recruit who was offered ...

Gonzaga Topples Xavier, 83-59, To Reach Final Four

... Eight and first since 2008. They beat Maryland and Florida State and took down No. 2 Arizona in the regional semifinals, setting up a matchup of small Jesuit schools seeking their first Final Four. The Final Four was the only thing missing on Few's resume, which includes 18 straight NCAA tournaments, eight trips to the Sweet 16 and a third Elite Eight after surviving West Virginia's constant pressure in the regional semifinals. The Zags struggled to find an offensive rhythm against the Mountaineers — who doesn't? — but had it flowing against Xavier. Gonzaga came into the Elite Eight hitting 29 percent of its 3-point shots after making 37 percent during the season. The Zags found the range early against Xavier, hitting 8 of 13 from the arc in the first half, mostly against the Musketeers' zone or on kick-outs from center Przemek Karnowski. Xavier got off to a good start offensively by working the ball around, but hit a dry spell and made 1 of 5 from 3-point range as Gonzaga stretched ...
