Given that it's A-10 Tourney Week,
this edition provides team capsules on every A-10 squad.....
Xavier: (23-7, 14-2)
The skinny- The Musketeers polished off their fourth consecutive season with at least a share of the A-10 regular season title this week with easy wins at Fordham at home against St. Bonaventure. The wins extended XU's winning streak to seven games-and 11 of their last 12. A big part of the surge has been junior Jamel McLean, who has averaged 11.6 points and 9.7 rebounds over the last nine games. After the Musketeers knocked off Bonaventure XU head coach Chris Mack praised McLean for his ability to handle double teams in the post by controlling the ball effectively, and called him one of the best power forwards in the conference. McLean's defensive ability will likely be tested in the first round of the Tournament in Atlantic City, as No. 2 seed Xavier will get the winner of the Dayton-George Washington matchup. Whether it is Dayton's Chris Wright or GW's Damian Hollis, there will be a skilled power forward to match up against, with McLean's defensive ability serving as a major determinant in the game. The trip to AC will also be the last of Jason Love's four year career at Xavier, and after celebrating his fourth regular season title the senior said that he wanted to experience one thing that he never has while at XU: a conference tournament title.
