Of the litany of things Xavier fans were wondering coming into the Charleston Classic, a couple of them were answered at least for a night as Xavier put together their most complete performance of the year to stifle the Tigers and take home a comfortable win.
Towson is not going to be mistaken for Hank Gathers’ era Loyola Marymount any time soon, but they posted .94 points per possession against Florida and had not been held under 70 in any of the rest of their games. Tonight, Xavier absolutely dominated them with their defense, holding them to 20 points in the first half and never letting them back into the game in the second half.
