Xavier sleepwalks through a perfunctory win over Green Bay by a final of 84-71

Xavier won a game they should win, wandering past an energetic Green Bay squad. That's honestly about where it ends tonight.

The Muskies came out fast, going up 7-2 early behind the usual suspects, and for a moment you thought it would be done and dusted from there and end with the starters laughing together on the end of the bench while the walk-ons got some run.

Instead, it settled into the rhythm the game would have the rest of the night, as Green Bay answered with a 19-10 run to go up 21-17. Apparently rattled by the prospect of actually losing rather than just putting together an uninspiring win, Xavier responded with a 21-9 run to hold a 38-30 lead with 2 and change left in the half.
