Zags off to a good start in this one and lead 11-4. Wasn’t particularly excited for this game beforehand, but seeing them play well always helps.
[GU 31 - 23 XAV 5:01] Much better game than yesterday so far.
[GU 40 -34 XAV HT] Ben Gregg continues his campaign for more minute with a long 3 that puts the Zags up 6 going into the half. Disappointing last 5 minutes considering they led by as much as 13 this half, but I’ll take it.
[GU 61 - 62 XAV 9:18] Xavier takes the lead after fighting their way back into this game. Zags haven’t played terrible, but haven’t been good enough at both ends.
[GU 73 - 73 XAV 3:56] This ones going down to the wire. Zags battle back after a bad stretch let Xavier take a 5 or 6 point lead.
[GU 81 - 75 XAV 1:28] Julian Strawther stepping up big late in the game nails a 3 as the shot clock expires. Xavier takes a timeout to regroup.
Anton Watson just took 10 years off Mark Few’s life when he fouled on a dunk up 6. Few literally turned into an old man before our eyes.
[GU 88 - 84 XAV FT] Zags squeak it out. Much better game from Strawther and Anton Watson, great minutes from Ben Gregg off the bench, and Nolan Hickman continues to improve. I’ll take it.
