Offense catches fire in Xavier's rout of Montana

Related Topics: Montana

It's hard to win against the make-shots offense, a lesson Montana learned on Friday night at the Cintas Center.

For the first nine minutes, Xavier didn't miss a shot, starting the game 10-for-10 from the field, and while the Musketeers eventually missed, the offense never really let up and it resulted in a dominant 86-64 win over Montana to start the season 2-0.

Xavier spread the offense around like a sweet jam over a lightly toasted bagel.

Xavier shot 64% from the field, 57% from 3-point and 74% from the foul line.

The Musketeers had four players score in double figures, led by Zach Freemantle's 18 on 8-of-11 shooting.
