NEW YORK – A furious comeback on the closing minutes nearly erased a 15-point Seton Hall lead held with under three minutes to play, but the No. 5 Musketeers were unable to get closer than four, falling in the BIG EAST Tournament Semifinals on Friday night. The Musketeers await the NCAA Tournament Selection Show on Sunday, March 13 at 5:30 p.m. on CBS.
Edmond Sumner finished with a team high 21 points to lead four Musketeers who finished in double figures, marking the first time Xavier lost this season with four players in double figures.
