NEWARK, New Jersey — The J.P. Macura game. That's how Xavier basketball's trip to Seton Hall this season will be remembered.
On the strength of one Macura's best performances of his senior season, the 11th-ranked Musketeers stole a victory from the 19th-ranked Seton Hall Pirates, 73-64, Saturday at the Prudential Center.
The win was Xavier's first-ever on Seton Hall's home court since joining the Big East Conference. It allowed the Musketeers to improve to 18-3 overall and 6-2 in the Big East.
For Seton Hall, it was their second-consecutive loss. The Pirates dropped to 15-5 and 4-3 in the Big East.
