Just two days after struggling to pull away from EKU, X actually took care of business and walked away from Tennessee Tech.
The Game
The start was slow from X and it looked like things could get too interesting yet again. Nate Johnson (16/2/1) was cooking early and canned two 3s before the first media timeout. At the 11:51 mark of the first half X took its final lead on a Paul Scruggs (14/4/9) 3 which he followed with two assists to Bryan Griffin (9/8/1). Through the rest of the first half Tennessee Tech struggled offensively and Dwon Odom (4/3/5) pushed the Xavier lead to 14 on jumper(!
