By: Cooper LedfordThe Xavier Musketeers, who were 6-2 were hosting the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, who had a record of 6-4. This game not only was a Hall Of Fame Game, but also was in honor of the late, Skip Prosser, who coached at both Xavier and Wake Forest.
Xavier had a 28-game home winning streak on the line, and to add one more win to that streak, XU would have to defeat a Wake team that always plays hard. Xavier was able to do so, with the help of Tu Holloway, who had a triple-double, and Kenny Frease, who had a career-high 22 points. Xavier celebrates a win, 83-75.
About that triple-double for Tu Holloway, he scored 14 points (yes that is low for him), had 10 boards, and 14 assists. If you are wondering who the last Musketeer that got a triple-double was, well who else? David West. D-West got one against Long Island back in 2001.
For the Demon Deacons, J.T. Terrell led the way with 27 points.
So, the Musketeers get revenge on Wake Forest, after the Demon Deacons beat XU last year in double-overtime. Xavier is now 7-2, and Wake Forest falls to 6-5.
Next, the X-Men will go on the road, and play against a tough Gonzaga team. The Musketeers and Bulldogs will go at it on Christmas Eve-Eve, Wednesday, the 23rd, of December, of the 2010th year. Game time will be at 11:00 PM ET, yeah, so Xavier fans, we'll have to give up David Letterman to watch this game....sorry. Anyways, Wednesday at 11 PM ET on ESPN2.
