CINCINNATI -- Since losing dynamic point guard Edmond Sumner to a season-ending ACL injury, No. 24 Xavier has won two straight games including a signature road victory at Creighton.
Without Sumner, the Musketeers are riding the coattails of junior guard Trevon Bluiett, who's been carrying them for most of the season.
Bluiett earned Big East Conference player of the week honors for the second straight week after averaging 20 points, seven rebounds, and three assists in wins over Seton Hall and Creighton.
Despite playing on a sore ankle, Bluiett scored 16 points including a pair of clutch 3-pointers in the win over the then-No.
