UD Flies Past Muskies on Icy Afternoon
It was a white-out inside and outside UD Arena on Saturday afternoon. The cold and icy weather that descended upon Southwest Ohio also impacted the Musketeers' offense and defense. The Flyers had payback on their mind as they crushed the visiting XU squad, 90-65, before a sold-out arena. Xavier's Jordan Crawford led all scorers with a game-high 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting, but it was not enough to stave off UD's rabid and aggressive attack. With the loss, Xavier's four game winning streak comes to a halt as the Muskies (16-7, 8-2) drop out of first place in the Atlantic 10. UD, meanwhile, ups its record to 16-6 (5-3 A-10).

Muskies Take Efficient Offense to Amherst!!
Xavier swept three games at home recently (W's over URI, Duquesne and Fordham). The defense was rock solid (61, 50 and 60 points allowed) plus the offense blossomed (72, 85 and 108 points scored). It wasn't all Jordan Crawford either! The inside game became a three-headed monster with Jason Love, Jamel McLean and Kenny Frease all scoring close to the basket and at the foul line. Fast break lay-ups have been much more plentiful. 3 point shooting has become much more selective. Better shots have led to a higher percentage. The team free throw numbers have climbed steadily also. Assists have risen and turnovers have dropped. It's a rosey picture which adds up to a much more efficient offense.
X-Men Escape Amherst with a "W"
After enjoying three straight home wins, the Musketeers embarked on their first of a three game set on the road on Wednesday night at Massachusetts. The Minutemen gave Xavier all it could handle, but in the end Xavier was able to put together a 9-0 run in the final minutes to seal an 87-79 victory at the Mullins Center in Amherst. Jordan Crawford came up big for the Muskies, leading all scorers with 25 points on 8-of-15 shooting including 5-of-8 from 3-point range. He also added four rebounds and four assists as X improves its record to 16-6 including 8-1 in Atlantic 10 action. UMass, meanwhile, drop to 8-14 (2-6 A-10).
Muskies Embark on Farflung February!!
January 2010 concluded with an impressive 3 game home sweep for XU. Rhode Island went down 72-61 as the defense clamped down and Jordan Crawford took over offensively. URI drove up I-75 a couple nites later and validated their worth with a victory at Dayton. (Yeah! I've heard all about the tainted cheese steaks!!) The Muskies smothered Duquesne 86-50 with all 3 post players prospering. The Dukes aren't the Lakers but they bounced back to beat St. Joe's Sunday. Then Xavier made short work of Fordham 108-60.
