What looked like a somber day in Cincinnati was quickly turned around, as the Xavier Musketeers orchestrated a comeback victory after being down by 22 points to beat East Tennessee State.
The whole week off from action seemed to take a toll on the Musketeers in the first half. Xavier was ice cold from the floor while the Bucs were converting many of their shots. The Musketeers assumed a narrow 13-7 lead by the first media timeout of the first half, but the tides turned and ETSU took advantage of Xavier’s troubles.
Basketball is said to be a game of runs, and this was definitely the tale of the tape on Saturday.
