Xavier basketball: Musketeers avoid trouble, defeat Kent State

It was pretty dramatic, but the Xavier Musketeers marched into the win column again. Friday night saw the Musketeers host the Kent State Golden Flashes. For a while, the MACtion was too heavy for Xavier to handle. Kent State held a lead as large as 10 points in the first half, threatening to take them down in Cincy.

Then, back-to-back three-pointers from Sincere Carry propelled the Flashes up 48-43 with 14:12 remaining in the game. A 17-4 run in response by the Musketeers rocketed them up 60-52 and they never looked back from there.
