Xavier is tough. Zip em up tough, one might say. The Musketeers, with an assist from an idiotic Ed Cooley tech, blew out to a huge lead tonight and then had to hang on in a battle with Bryce Hopkins, Ed Croswell, and their uncles officiating the game to walk out of whatever it is they call the Dunk now with a win. This time there was no indoor rain delay to help a Friars team that got close but never all the way back in it. Xavier improved to 14-5, added a Q1 win, and beat their rival for the two seed in the BET on the road.
Xavier 94-89 Providence: Xavier starts hot and a leak can’t save Providence this time.
