Xavier’s basketball season and tournament hopes were saved in Thursday night’s 62-57 win over Butler. Unsurprisingly, Trevon Bluiett was the hero, sinking six shots, nine free throws, and a stepback from the elbow that will certainly show up on the jumbotron at the Cintas Center for years to come. His 23 points, along with Malcolm Bernard’s stellar defense and Sean O’Mara’s baby hook shot, propelled Xavier into the Big East Semifinals and out of the terrifying bubble.
While Creighton’s 70-58 victory over Providence wasn’t as dramatic, it was equally impressive.
