They lost at home to Oral Roberts. LOL!

They leave for Hawaii on Monday morning, so it will be interesting to see who's sitting on the bench Thursday night.

by NCAA rule, only those players eligible to play (academic, discipline, or other) are allowed to travel. If a currently ineligible player will become eligible during the trip (i.e. a 2 game suspension allows him to play in game 3 of the trip), he may travel with the team to play in the first contest he is eligible during said trip.

My understanding is that all Xavier players will be eligible by the end of the tournament, so I'd expect all of them to be there.

I don't think so.

"Xavier will still be without two of its starters for the Long Beach State game. Freshman Dezmine Wells (currently XU's third-leading scorer at 9.5 ppg.) will miss the entire tournament and junior Mark Lyons (17.4 ppg.) will miss the Long Beach State game only. Those games will complete the four-game and two-game suspensions, respectively, for Wells and Lyons."
