AMHERST, Mass. -- We've reached the under-16 media timeout, and Xavier leads 8-7 with 15:56 left to play. A couple of offensive fouls have been called on recent possessions, with each squad getting dinged once.

Both teams have already gone to the bench for a couple of players, and as play has resumed Xavier is about to bring Dante' Jackson into the game. Xavier has brought in B.J. Raymond, one of the top shooters in the conference and their sixth double-figure scorer to go with their starters.

This game has attracted a few notable media members. As I walked into the media room, I saw Jeff Goodman of FOXSports.com, then looked in further and saw that ESPN.com's Andy Katz is also here. CSTV's Road Trippers, Cyrus and Jacob, are here as well.
