5 takeaways from Xavier's 18th win

Make it four wins in a row for the Xavier men's basketball team.

After losing four of five games over a brutal part of the schedule, the No. 24/25 Musketeers (18-6, 8-3 Big East) are suddenly streaking.

The good times continued Wednesday with a 72-61 win over the DePaul University Blue Demons.

As Xavier head coach Chris Mack said after the game, it wasn't pretty. But Big East play isn't always a beauty pageant, and the Musketeers did enough against the lowly Blue Demons (8-16, 1-10 Big East).
