The Facts...

Just living in the present, for any Dayton fan who wants to open their mouth and make ill-advised comments. Face the facts. Enter reality.

First of all we already beat you guys once this year in a game we didn't even play well at all. Now, a time in which we're peaking like we always do the fluidness of Xavier basketball right now is like Drano going down a drain. Just look at the last four games. Outside of the first half against Rhode Island and about 10 minutes against UMASS, Xavier is playing it's best basketball and continues to get better. Just a few simple statistics for your reading pleasure.
