CHICAGO -- At the four-minute timeout, Kent St leads by two, and Xavier has to be happy that its that close. It's been a frustrating shooting half for Xavier, although that is anecdotal. We don't have any sort of live stats here.

I can tell you that the Flashes have 15 of their 26 points off the bench, and their leading scorer, Mike Scott has 8 of the 11 contributed by the starters.

If Xavier ever gets its shots to start falling, they can run away from Kent.
