It's been a wild year thus far, and we're back to talk the possible cancellation of non-conference play (and the entire season?), Xavier's grad transfers and freshmen, who leads this team if there is a season, and what on earth that season might look like. All that and more on this summer episode of Banter on the Parkway.

Basketball was rolling along until just after noon on March 12th when it, and everything else, changed in a manic four hours. The impact of that was felt worldwide. We discuss all that, as well as the tournament we've come up with to try to stand in the gap.

The two main topics on Twitter are the main topics of the pod. Of course we mean the question everyone is asking: is Coach Steele the right man for the Xavier job? And the question everyone else is asking: will coronavirus just render this season moot anyway? That and more on this week's Banter.

Xavier grabbed another Q1 win, but did so with another bad offensive performance. How far can that offense go in the NCAA tournament? Will there even be an NCAA tournament? That, Jason Carter dunking, recruits who can shoot, and a terrible sports movie this week on Banter.

Bryan and Braydan are back for their weekly look around the Big East. Before that, we'll have a look at where Xavier stands on the bubble with just three games to go.

Xavier handled business against DePaul and moved up the bubble. Was that a repeatable performance? What does it say about X going forward? That, the Big East bubble, what Xavier needs to do to insure they are in the tournament, and which former player could bolster this team's chances all coming up this week.

It's a huge conference weekend as the chances for big wins become ever more important as March waits just over the horizon. As ever, Bryan and Braydan are here to break down all the action.

Xavier looks more and more secure with every road win, but where does the rest of the Big East stand? Could the conference get eight teams into the tournament? We talk that, what Quentin Goodin can still bring to the table, and answer your questions on this week's episode of Banter.

It's mid-February which means all the focus in college basketball is on the bubble. We'll see where Xavier sits there as well as how the Big East weekend sets things up for X against St. John's.

In this episode we go way into the numbers to determine why Xavier is suddenly playing like one of the best teams in the nation. There's that, your questions, superstitions, and bad hair all on this episode of Banter.
