Xavier came into this game on the back of two losses and a couple of poor performances. While the play was not much better tonight it was at least enough for the win. This win over Butler doesn’t do much for X’s tournament resume but avoiding a loss was big and hopefully that will build some momentum. Other than that, this wasn’t a great performance to watch.
The game started with Zach Freemantle dominating and X jumping out to a 16-6 lead. X held a lead for the next 3 minutes before Butler went on a run to take the lead.
