CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Stanley Burrell has always been able to score. But now he can do so much more. The Xavier guard used his role as a budding defensive stopper to shut down Dayton star Brian Roberts as Xavier dominated Dayton, 69-43, in front of a sellout crowd at Cintas Center.

Roberts scored just five points, and he was only able to get off five shots in the game. Burrell deflected credit for his defensive performance.

"I was really proud of my guys," he said. "They did a great job. I just wanted to do a great job of speeding him up and just frustrating him the whole night."

Xavier head coach Sean Miller agreed with Burrell. He said the Musketeers used a "complete team effort" to shut down Roberts and the Flyers. The 43 points were Dayton's fewest in a game this season. The Flyers' previous low was 55 in a win over Holy Cross.

In addition to his solid defense, Burrell led a balanced Xavier scoring attack with 13 points on five-of-11 shooting. Josh Duncan scored 12 points, and B.J. Raymond added 11 for the Musketeers. Xavier also got a key contribution from reserve freshman guard Dante Jackson, who scored six points and picked four steals in 17 minutes of play.

"Guys like Dante usually hit their stride around Christmas, and I think he did that," Miller said. "Dante Jackson played his best game at Xavier today."

The most important stat of the night was 3-point shooting percentage. Xavier made 11-of-22 long-range shots while Dayton made only two of 18 tries from beyond the arc. The victory was Xavier's twenty-third consecutive win over Dayton in Cincinnati. The two schools meet in Dayton on Feb. 24. Dayton next travels to Richmond Saturday while Xavier heads to UMass on Sunday at noon.
