PROVIDENCE – A little fun goes a long way and it had been a while since Xavier had fun on a basketball court.

Saturday's second half was fun from start to finish as the Musketeers blew by Providence, 75-61, in the best road performance Xavier's had all season.

On the first possession of the second half with Providence leading 32-26, Quentin Goodin got his pocket picked for Xavier's 10th turnover of the game.

Seconds after that, Goodin stole it right back and went the distance for a transition bucket.
