With 2:11 left in the game against Ohio U and Xavier putting the finishing touches on a 26-7 run that would take the game from contested to laughable, Tyrique Jones stepped up to take a charge from Bobcats guard Teyvion Kirk. As the combined forces of the impact and gravity sent Ty to the floor, the back of his head connected with the knee of Bobcats center Doug Taylor.

By the time a woozy Jones was helped to the locker room several minutes later, Xavier fans were already looking ahead to the matchup with UC with some sort of increased trepidation.
