Xavier can celebrate again as they snapped their two-game losing streak Saturday night with their 77-69 victory over the Utah Utes.
After reeling in road losses to Baylor and Utah, the Musketeers downed their visiting opponent from Salt Lake City and the Pac-12 Conference. The Musketeers were challenged despite leading 40-29 at the half and had accumulated a few double-digit leads. X however was still able to survive the onslaught from the Utes and regain entry into the win column.
Leading the way was RaShid Gaston who recorded a double-double, scoring 11 and grabbing 14 rebounds. JP Macura led the team in points with 18 points as he was one of four to enter double figures.
