Don't mess with Jeff Xavier's brother

Things got a little chippy between Marquette and Providence on Saturday night, and it was highlighted by Friars guard Jeff Xavier getting drilled in the eye. It looked as though Xavier was just going to shoot his free throws and continue the game, until his brother--just chillin courtside--felt there was retribution to be served.


This is kind of like when we were in fifth grade and a mother walked on to the court to tell the ref that Jimmy's elbow did not inadvertently jab into Timmy's eye, and that the foul wasn't deserved.

Kind of like...only Jeff Xavier's brother just might of been packing something at the Dunkin Donuts Center. Jimmy's mother had nothing more than a Gucci handbag. This incident on Saturday night was awkard, and could of quickly got dangerous. Luckily, it didn't.

Xavier

Wow Billy Boy, for now on get the story straight! It was #11 Geoff McDermott at the line shooting a free throw, not Xavier.. It was a make up call for the one they didn’t call on #21 Marquette against Xavier who ripped his eye lid open.. Watch #21 cleaning the blood and skin out of his fingernails while he’s walking back to the bench, even wipes it on his shirt.. What was so upsetting, was the lack of assistance Xavier received from the referees. They stop games for an missing contact lense, but walk away from a bleeding eye… I understand they won’t stop the game during the play, but after they blew the whistle for McDermott to get to the line they still kept their backs to him.. How could that not upset anyone if it were your brother. Jon Xavier obviously reacted inappropriately and has some serious instability issues, but is was extremely unfair to exploit his criminal record, but disregard his medical issues. For you to write like this, apparently you only wish you had family and friends who care about you… I suggest you try to find a jog that you might be good at!
