This one came down to the wire. Colorado held a 2-point lead with the clock ticking down at the end of the game when Derrick White came up with a big blocked shot to preserve the victory.
The Buffs have rebounded nicely after falling to Colorado State earlier in the season by picking up back-to-back wins. Xavier, who started the season 7-0, has now lost its last two.
White led the way for the Buffs with 23 points. Xavier Johnson added 18 points and George King had 16 points and 10 rebounds. For Xavier, Trevon Blueitt scored 27 points, but it wasn’t enough for the Musketeers, who lost in the first ever meeting between these schools.
