Brookc2b, are you asking about St Xaver which is a very good NAIA school in the Southwest part of Chicago or Xavier University in Ohio?

Xavier University in Cincy

Xavier is a nice school, friendly campus tucked in a reasonably nice neighborhood just north of downtown Cincinnati. Basketball is king there. They have put a fair amount of $$ into their athletic facilities over the past 10 years or so.

I remember when Xavier wasn't so good at basketball, when they played football and I remember taking my SATs at Xavier.

Somethng else to know about Xavier, they have had 3 head coaches in the last 3 years. The coach in '04 left after 15-18 years, they hired an assistant coacu from Miami-Ohio to replace him. After the '05 season that coach left to go back to Miami-Ohio as their new head coach. The current head coach was an assistant coach last year. They have had a losing record the last few years but seems to inch closer to .500 last year. They are a toung team, most of their juniors have been playing significant roles since their freshman year.

So many changes make it hard to be competitive, maybe this coach will stick around and see it grow
