Xavier 68, Saint Joseph's 55

Posted January 18, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mark Lyons,  Carl Jones,  Halil Kanacevic
TEAMS: Xavier Musketeers,  St. Josephs Hawks

Mark Lyons scored 17 points on Wednesday night, and point guard Tu Holloway had a season-high 12 assists in a spread-it-around offense that swept Xavier to its fourth straight victory, 68-55 over Saint Joseph's. The Musketeers (13-5, 4-1 Atlantic 10 Conference) took control with an 18-2 run early in the second half led by their senior point guard. Xavier extended its A-10 record to 43 consecutive league wins at home. The Musketeers haven't lost an A-10 game at the Cintas Center since Saint Joseph's beat them 68-58 on Feb. 28, 2006. The Hawks (12-7, 2-3) couldn't overcome Xavier's second-half run or the loss of guard Carl Jones, who leads the league in scoring with 17.2 points per game. Jones sprained his left ankle during a loss to Massachusetts on Saturday and didn't play. Halil Kanacevic led Saint Joseph's with 13 points and 14 rebounds.

Dangerous Xavier chasing redemption

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  January 19, 2012
CINCINNATI - Xavier coach Chris Mack isn't ready to shout it from the nearby mountaintops, but his team is still here. Xavier is still not on your computer, fancy phone screen or newspaper ranked in the Top 25, but that's OK. It's an absence that's well earned, frankly, but one that's just wrong. And one that's not going to last much longer. A more reserved...
