Claim: Matt Stainbrook, who was one of Xavier's leading scorers and rebounders, played as a substitute center when he was a freshman at Western Michigan and played his first game against Xavier.
Evidence: Notably, his first game was against Xavier, and he had 10 points and 7 rebounds in what proved to be a difficult 68–65 win for Xavier. Despite being almost completely ignored out of high school, he earned the starting center position as a freshman at Western Michigan. During his two seasons of play at Xavier, Stainbrook was one of Xavier's leading scorers and rebounders.
