Ken Pom stats listed Xavier's defense from 37th to 15th while X started the game ranked 43rd they jumped to 31st after the St marys game.
obviously with the small sample size of games, you hold a team to under 50 points, your D rank gonna jump a bit. that being said, i thought our D was pretty stellar coupled with the fact that St. Mary's was very cold. we still foul way too much. also not sure how St. Mary's was picked to win their league over Gonzaga. they looked TERRIBLE at times. maybe just a bad game coupled with their best scorer fouling out.
either way, it's a nice win. i hope they do win the league now. that will be a big resume win later if they do.
