With another wild comeback, Xavier beats Butler in the closing seconds

Xavier trailed Butler 64-54 with exactly four minutes to play Sunday afternoon at Cintas Center and somehow, for the second straight game, the Musketeers pulled off a wild comeback and found a way to win, 70-69.

First, it was a 5-0 run from Zach Hankins, followed by four free throws from Kyle Castlin and Naji Marshall.

Then, after a Kamar Baldwin 3-point play that gave Butler a 69-66 lead with 1:10 to play, Castlin hit arguably the biggest shot of his career, a 3-pointer right in front of Xavier's bench to tie the game, 69-69 with 54 seconds left.
