If fans looked at just the conference record of the Xavier Musketeers, they would think it was a very mediocre team that wasn’t going anyway at just 9-9 in the Big East. However, the Musketeers shocked many in the NCAA Tournament and won’t be able to do that again. Trevon Bluiett returns as the team’s leading scorer and has Myles Davis back alongside for more scoring punch. The Big East can’t look past what Xavier can do this season. Bluiett and Davis are legitimate scoring threats and a 23-win season last year should wake some opponents up. Here is a look at the 2015-16 schedule for Xavier.
