Update: Halfway through the second half, Xavier men's basketball looks to be in complete control of its Big East Conference opener.
With 10:06 to play in the game, the No. 17 Musketeers stretched their lead over the Providence College Friars to 65-38.
Xavier has four players in double-figure scoring with junior guard Trevon Bluiett leading the way with 20 points.
Junior guard J.P Macura (11), sophomore guard Edmond Sumner (11) and senior transfer RaShid Gaston (10) had also scored in double digits through the 10-minute mark in the game.
Meanwhile, the Friars' leading scorer, Rodney Bullock, has just two points to his name as the game begins to wind down.
