Xavier won this one at something of a trot. Butler is a really bad basketball team. They have one good win this year, a home win over Xavier that required some horrendous officiating at the end to get. Xavier came out, struggled to get things going, let Butler back into it, woke up, put Butler away, and then eased to a victory. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t incredibly efficient, it was just a good team beating a bad one. The ones that matter are up next.
Xavier is back to single elimination basketball
The Musketeers are healthy and back to the games that lead to Banners.
