X Focuses on D



According to Joe Danneman the Xavier Musketeers spent exactly 67 minutes of their 90 minute practice on Friday… working on defense. The major concern? Purdue’s 3-pt shooters. The Boilers took 20 three point shots against Baylor and made nine.

In addition to guarding the perimeter… Sean Miller thinks the Muskies big men are stronger and more athletic than the Boilermakers.

Not to mention more experienced. Two freshmen, two sophomores in the starting lineup for Purdue.

The question is can XU pick up where it left off in the second half against Georgia. If so… a trip to Phoenix for the Sweet 16 is probably next.
