With under three minutes left in the first half, Xavier led 31-28. X closed the half on a 10-3 run, opened the second with seven unanswered points, and was never seriously threatened again. The Musketeers move to 3-1 in conference play to sit just a game back of 4-0 Villanova, while DePaul falls to 0-5 and no doubt starts planning for track and field season. Xavier will be back in action with a trip to Marquette on Saturday.
