X Grabs Verbal Commitment From 2014 Edmond Sumner
Detroit Country Day's combo guard has given his verbal commitment to X. There's a long way between a verbal and being in uniform, but Sumner is in the fold for Xavier unless something changes.
Xavier in the Mix for a Guy
With the silly season of college basketball roster rumors upon us, Xavier is not exempt for the speculation that accompanies the potential of adding a player to the roster.

Looking Ahead: The Program
We end our look forward to next season with a brief article about what this season will mean to the Xavier program.
Looking Ahead: The Big Men
Travis Taylor's departure leaves a gap in the ranks, but Xavier will still have at least six scholarship bigs for the 2013-2014 season.
Looking Ahead: The Guards
Brad Redford's departure leaves Xavier with Dee Davis, Semaj Christon, Brandon Randolph, and Myles Davis to fill the guard positions. Here's a look at best and worst case scenarios for all four of them.
Season in Review: Predictions and Notes
A rundown of all the predictions, prognostications, and guesses we made this year. Plus a few facts about this year's team that you may not have known.
Season in Review: Part Three
Xavier fell from a 4-0 start into another swoon that threatened to finally finish things. A closing stretch of five brutal games, though, gave them just a chance of saving the season.
Season in Review: Part Two
From 6-1, the Musketeers collapsed to 7-6 when conference play started. Improbably though, that wasn't the end. Another rally, and Xavier was looking good.
Bed Time is the New Game Time
The national title game between Michigan and Louisville was a real barn burner. Too bad we had to wait until 9:30 for it to start.
Banners Bracket Challenge: Award Show
