guard j.p: No. 7 Xavier put together one of the finest seasons in its history, one that ended with one of its biggest disappointments, according to The Waterloo Record. A second-round loss to Wisconsin during the NCAA Tournament ended the run prematurely. These Musketeers have gotten accustomed to the breakthroughs. And now, the Musketeers are back for an encore. "We talked about it as a team," guard J.P. Macura said. "We figured we're going to come back stronger this year and kind of put it past us." Xavier returns the nucleus of a team that went 28-6, was ranked No. 5 for five weeks — the highest ranking in school history — and finished second behind Villanova in the Big East. Their burst into national prominence prepared them for more of the same. "We've already had that experience, going through it for a year," junior guard Trevon Bluiett said. "It kind of like we know what to expect rather than just running around like chickens. The Musketeers went 6-1 against Top 25 teams and 3-0 against Top 10 teams, and got the first NCAA No. 2 seed in school history.
