Trevon Bluiett managed to lay a complete egg in terms of scoring today, but he chipped in seven boards and three assists. That in some way set the tone in a game in which X didn’t even manage to shoot 40% from the floor but racked up 14 offensive boards and still managed assists on 65% of their made buckets. Look at the shooting numbers and you’d be forgiven for thinking that Xavier lost, but only committing eight turnovers and knocking down 76% of your free throws will games. Xavier dug deep, scored 45 in the second half, and won this one ugly just three days after winning pretty over Providence.
