CINCINNATI (AP) With its best player back from a concussion, Seton Hall is on its best surge of the season, all the way to the top of the Big East.
Myles Powell scored 24 points Wednesday night, and Seton Hall remained undefeated in the league play by beating Xavier 83-71, ending the Musketeers' streak of 13 straight home wins.
The Pirates (11-4, 3-0) won their fifth in a row and joined Providence atop the league at 3-0. Two of the Pirates' wins have come on the road.
Powell helped the Pirates pull ahead by 14 points in the first half and hold on.
