Xavier vs. Villanova: Halftime Notes

On the most anticipated Big East basketball day in recent memory, it's been all Villanova so far against No. 6 Xavier.

This game, of course, has been marred by the scary injury to Edmond Sumner, who took a bad fall on a frightful collision at the rim.

Sumner strode to the rim on a breakaway when Nova's Kris Jenkins went up for the block, taking Sumner's legs right from under him. The freshman hit the deck hard, his head slamming to the hardwood, appearing to knock him out cold.

Sumner was on the floor for 10 minutes before being stretchered out of the Pavilion.
