It was similar to their first meeting, only this time it was DePaul that went on a late run Saturday night to beat Xavier, 74-62, handing the Musketeers their sixth straight loss.

It's the first win for DePaul at Cintas Center.

Xavier led 57-53 with 5:28 left in the game only to watch the Blue Demons pull away with a 21-5 run while Xavier committed six of its 16 turnovers in closing time.

The game was tied 57-57 with 3:36 left when Xavier turned the ball over on three consecutive trips down the floor.
