Seton Hall 80, Xavier 70, FINAL – The new year, with all of its hope and promise, didn't start the way Xavier would have liked.

The Musketeers, already in a position where they can't afford to let games slip away, let a crucial game that they controlled for most of the night slip right through their fingers to Seton Hall, 80-70.

It was a game where Xavier led for more than 29 minutes and Seton Hall led for less than seven minutes.
