The seventh-ever Top 25 matchup in Cintas Center history is setting up for a furious finish.
Xavier men's basketball (13-4, 3-2 Big East), now the No. 22-ranked team nationally, trails No. 7-ranked Creighton University (17-1, 4-1 Big East) at halftime, 32-29.
Creighton looked to be in complete control early and led by nine at the 13:08 mark of the period, but Xavier went on to take the lead several times as there were six lead changes in the half.
