Xavier's men's basketball team survived Tuesday's test against Southern, 79-59, which was conveniently sandwiched between last Saturday's Crosstown Shootout and Friday's Big East Conference opener at Georgetown.
For it being exam week, and a potential trap game, the Musketeers did well to walk away with a 20-point win.
Xavier's starters had a lot to do with that.
Souley Boum led the Musketeers with 17 points and seven assists. Zach Freemantle had 15 points and eight rebounds. Jack Nunge added 13 points and seven rebounds. Colby Jones had 10 points and six assists.
