Trevon Bluiett Spent Friday Night Correctly Pointing Out That Xavier Was Not the First No. 1 Seed to Lose
By Jason Lisk
On Friday night, as Virginia’s historic loss to UMBC went final, Trevon Bluiett of Xavier spent some time pointing out the disrespect shown to Xavier as a Number 1 seed, where they were seen as the most likely to lose first.
Of course, most people expected that potential for a Xavier loss to be in play in the second round matchup, as top seeds were 132-0 entering the tournament in the first round. And tonight, Xavier lost to Florida State after blowing a double digit lead late and looking awful in the final minute. Maybe they would have had a better chance if they had given their best player an opportunity to score. So, sure, Xavier lost in the second round as a Number 1 seed, but at least they weren’t first. Suck on it, haters.
