With perhaps one eye focused on the Crosstown Shootout Saturday, Xavier did enough to win 84-71 against the Green Bay Phoenix Wednesday night at Cintas Center.
While it wasn’t pretty, the game was never really in doubt after Xavier held only 38-35 halftime advantage. After a quick 9-2 run to open the second half, the Musketeers spent much of the latter quarter of the game with at least a ten-point advantage. The Musketeers’ largest lead was a 15 advantage secured a couple of times in the final minutes.
Even if it was a relatively comfortable win for the Musketeers, it was not pretty.
