NEWARK, N.J. – A 19-point halftime deficit proved to be too much to overcome, as the No. 5 Xavier fell, 90-81 at Seton Hall on Sunday. The Musketeers moved to 25-4 overall and 13-4 in BIG EAST play.
James Farr and Trevon Bluiett each finished with a team-high 17 points. Myles Davis added 15 for the Musketeers, all scored in the second half.
Seton Hall jumped out to a 9-0 lead less than two minutes into the game before a pair of threes settled the Musketeers on offense.
