Xavier 43, Evansville 28, 3:46 first half – Paul Scruggs just pulled off a nice spin move and lay-up in traffic at the rim. Coming down the floor, though, Scruggs and Evansville's Marty Hill were having a heated discussion and both were assessed technical fouls.
Xavier 30, Evansville 20, 9:30 first half – Quentin Goodin's more than alright. The Xavier guard, in his first action of the season, just knocked down three 3-pointers. Goodin has 12 points in seven minutes of action.
Xavier 16, Evansville 14, 12:25 first half – Naji Marshall with a little spark for Xavier.
