2014 POSTSEASON guidE
PaSSING FaNCy: Xavier, fourth in the Big EASt Conference in assists at 14.6 apg., had two players with over 100 assists for the first time since the 2009-10 season. Junior Dee Davis (149; fifth-highest total ever for an Xu junior) and sophomore Semaj Christon (142; third-highest total ever for an Xu sophomore) had over 100 assists each. Tu holloway (138) and Jordan Crawford (101) were the last Xu duo to accomplish that (2009-10).
ShaRE aND ShaRE aLIKE: Xavier was fourth in the Big EASt Conference in assists at 14.6 apg. that’s one reason that Xavier hit 47.0 percent from the field (second in the Big EASt). Xavier recorded an assist on 57.2 per- cent of its field goals. By comparison, Xu re- corded an assist on 48.2 percent of its field goals made in the 2012-13 season. Xavier had two players among the assist leaders in the Big EASt: junior Dee Davis (second at 4.7 apg.) and sophomore Semaj Christon (sixth at 4.2 apg.). Junior center Matt Stainbrook was third on the team in assists at 2.2 apg.
DEE-FENSE WaS a BIG KEy TO VICTORy: Xavier held Creighton to 69 points and 39.0 percent shooting from the field (29.4 percent from 3-point range) on March 1, well below their league-leading averages at the time of 80.2 ppg. and 49.5 percent (42.1 percent from 3-point territory). Many of Xavier’s other big wins in the 2013-14 season were due in great part to strong de- fense, including the 65-53 win at St. John’s on Feb. 25, the 59-53 win on Feb. 8 over Providence and the 64-50 win at Butler on Feb. 11. Those three opponent point totals were among the five lowest by a Xavier opponent the entire season. the 50 points scored by Butler were second only to the lowest total of 47 points scored by Cincinna- ti in Xu’s 64-47 win on Dec. 14. the lowest opponent point totals for a half in the 2013- 14 season also came in Xavier victories: 20 points for a first half by tennessee in Xu’s 67-63 win on Nov. 12 and 21 second-half points by Providence in Xu’s 59-53 victory on Feb. 8.
COMEBaCK KIDS: Xavier erased a 17-point second-half deficit with under 15 minutes to play against georgetown on Jan. 15, winning 80-67 at Cintas Center. that is the largest deficit overcome by a Xavier team since All- American Tu holloway led a remarkable Xu comeback from 19 points down with under 11 minutes left in a 66-63 win over Purdue at Cintas Center (12-3-11). Xu’s largest mar- gin overcome on the road in the 2013-14 season was a 12-point second-half deficit at Alabama.
DEFENSE KEyED ThE RuNS: There were numerous runs this past season that were fueled by defense, including the 22-2 run on Feb. 11 at Butler over the last minute of the first half and the first eight minutes of the second half (a run that started with a 13-0 spurt).

the new NCAA graduation Success rate (gSr) for student-athletes in Division i athletics was released in October. Xavier has upheld its strong academic tradition among its student-athletes by posting a score of 97 percent, which places it tied for 12th in the nation and in the top spot in the new Big EASt. the gSr was developed as a more accurate way to track the academic success of student-athletes. using a six-year time frame, the gSr measures graduation rates of student-athletes. transfer students are included in the calculation of the gSr. if a student-athlete transfers from an institution in good academic standing, then the trans- fers are merely passed on to the new insti- tution. Ten current Xavier teams posted a GSR score of 100 percent, including men’s basketball.
