1. In mid 80's, got a good young Fairfield grad coach (Pete Gillen) and started winning some games.

2. Gillen brought in some talented players, while playing in off campus arena.

3. Started dominating the league (Mid Western Athletic Conf.), brought some more talent in and cracked the top 25. NCAA apperances became an every year event.

4. Gillen went on to bigger things in Big East, his assistant Skip Prosser (now at Wake Forest) continued the winning ways. Xavier moves to Atlantic 10.

5. Now Xavier has an on campus facility that seats 13,000, one the best programs in the mid west, rule college basketball in a city that includes Cincinnati, and is a consistent top 25 team.

Sounds good to me. Ask yourselves - why not ?
