CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Musketeers are playing lockdown defense on Dayton, especially Flyers' guard Brian Roberts. He hasn't been able to get so much as a sniff at an open look, and it's showing up on the scoreboard. The Flyers have just six points after eight minutes of play.

Xavier leads by nine, but it has come up empty on multiple possessions in a row. With the type of defense the Musketeers are playing, they could have an even bigger lead right now. They'll need all the lead they can get when the inevitable happens and Roberts heats up.
