Xavier played its best game of the season Saturday afternoon at home against Northern Iowa, as Xavier's "Team 95" controlled the pace, the glass, and home court advantage. The Musketeers showcased the tools and versatility that make it one of the nation's elite teams, as they won 64-42 over the Panthers to improve to 6-0.
The Musketeers, like always, were led in scoring by their captains. Edmond Sumner, Trevon Bluiett, and J.P. Macura blazed the trail, as Macura was especially hot in the first half where he hit three contested threes. He finished with 18 points and was 6-for-9 from the field.
