Xavier came into this game with a 2-0 mark and a plethora of questions about their ability to contend with the better teams on their schedule. In a way, the questions were answered tonight, although not in a way that will likely be pleasing to X fans.

Xavier made a tremendous effort to get themselves back into the game before halftime, but undid much of their own good work by surrendering 28 points in the first 15 possesions of the second frame to put the game firmly in Wisconsin's control.
