That run I referred to below turned out to be the difference, as Xavier kept Dayton at Bay through the final minutes for a 74-65 win.
The Flyers shot 21-for-50 from the field (42.0%), including 6-for-19 from three-point range (31.6%) and 15-for-31 from two-point range (48.4%), and 17-for-28 from the free throw line (60.7%). Eight offensive rebounds, 17 defensive rebounds, 12 assists, 13 turnovers, two blocks, seven steals and 28 fouls committed.
That adds up to 67 possessions and 0.966 points per possession.
Marcus Johnson was the game's top scorer with 26 points, including 13-for-16 from the free throw line.
Xavier shot 21-for-47 from the field (44.7%), including 8-for-19 from three-point range (42.1%) and 13-for-28 from two-point range (46.4%), and 24-for-34 from the free throw line (70.6%). Eleven offensive rebounds, 26 defensive rebounds, 13 assists, 15 turnovers, two blocks, five steals and 20 fouls committed.
That adds up to 66 possessions and 1.122 points per possession.
Line of the game goes to Xavier's top scorer, Josh Duncan. While I'm not sure he's the player of the year in the conference -- heck, he didn't even start today -- he did turn in the most versatile performance. Not least because Drew Lavender was 0-for-4 from the field in the second half.
