XU won 68-53, and only allowed 16 2nd half points! 4 Muskies scored in double digits - Lyons (17), Frease (13), Wells (12), and Robinson (12 off the bench). Holloway was dishing out assists, and finished with 6 pts on only 5 shots, 12 ast, and 4 steals.
After the game, St. Joe's coach Phil Martelli said that Xavier is the best team in a very good conference and the championship will have to go through Xavier. He's a smart man.
Only two teams are left in the Atlantic 10 with one loss. They are Xavier and Dayton. Nothing like this rivalry and first place is on the line Saturday in this nationally-televised matchup! Check back for a preview.
Go Muskies!
