Kenny Freese and Mark Lyons were named to the All-Conference Second Team. Justin Martin and Dez Wells were selected to the 2011–12 preseason Atlantic 10 Conference All-Rookie Team.
Senior Center Kenny Frease was suspended from October 14 through October 23 for not fulfilling all of the responsibilities of a Xavier basketball player. Frease was reinstated on October 23. Senior Tu Holloway sat out the first game of the season because of a secondary violation of NCAA rules. Sources believe Holloway played in two summer leagues.
