Xavier gives No. 6 Gonzaga all it can handle, but the Musketeers come up short

PORTLAND, Ore. u2012 Xavier's men's basketball team lost to No. 6 Gonzaga on Sunday night in the Phil Knight Legacy third-place game, 88-84.

The Musketeers trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half and came roaring back to take a 71-63 lead with 6:19 left when Gonzaga caught fire and made six shots in a row.

Xavier gave Gonzaga all it could handle, but it wasn't enough. Gonzaga hit 13 3-pointers and Xavier got cold in the closing minutes when it mattered most.
