CHICAGO u2012 It was a matter of time before Xavier's offense stalled and shots refused to fall.
That's what happened on Wednesday night at Wintrust Arena against DePaul.
No. 8 Xavier had its 11-game win streak snapped in a 73-72 upset loss to the Blue Demons. The Musketeers had one of their worst offensive performances of the season, leading Xavier (15-4) to drop its first Big East Conference game.
The Musketeers lost for the first time since Nov. 27, when it fell to then-No. 6 Gonzaga by four points.
Xavier took a 72-71 lead with 46 seconds left after two free throws from Zach Freemantle.
