A10: Xavier Run Gives Musketeers Edge

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Want to know one of the reasons why Xavier didn't get any players on the first team All-Atlantic 10? The current lineup on the court: Josh Duncan has 16, Derrick Brown 9, C.J. Anderson 10, Drew Lavender 9 and Stanley Burrell 10.

After Dayton grabbed a two-point lead, Xavier has been on a 14-4 run to take a 58-52 lead with just over six minutes left. Burrell's three-pointer with just under 11 minutes left was part of a 12-0 run for Xavier to give the Musketeers a 51-46 lead. Dayton had grabbed its first edge of the second half on a long Brian Roberts 2 about seven minutes in.

Meanwhile, all five Dayton players at one point had three fouls. Xavier's B.J. Raymond and Anderson have four fouls each. Dayton's London Warren landed hard on his tailbone on play he was called for a charge on Duncan earlier this half and hasn't returned. Marcus Johnson now has 19 points for the Flyers.

Wireless continues to get worse at courtside. I'll steal somebody else's seat closer to the routers or blog from the press room if I have to for the next game.
