Live updates | No. 3 Xavier leads No. 6 Toledo in the first round of the NIT

The last time the Xavier University men's basketball team hosted a game in the National Invitation Tournament, it was also the last game the Musketeers ever played at the Cincinnati Gardens.

That was all the way back in March of 2000 – a lot's happened in the program between that last appearance and Wednesday's return to the NIT.

Xavier 23, Toledo 22, 3:08 first half – Toledo's only made one of its last eight shots but Xavier hasn't really been able to take advantage and build a lead.

The Musketeers' offense is struggling to find good looks.
