| Jamel McLean goes to the glass against Georgia. Xavier ended up winning, 65-57, Tuesday. |
The Xavier Musketeers have won 6 of their last 7 games versus SEC teams, pretty impressive, huh? Well if they wanted to make it 7 of their last 8, they would have to beat a tough Georgia Bulldogs team. UGA has some nice wins on the season, their biggest was a win over Kentucky, so obviously a good team. But, Xavier must be better, because they go on the road to Athens,
Tu Holloway lead the way for X, as he had 18 points, all in the 2nd half. Tu with another impressive game, but this one is cool, because it was Tu's Day (and Tuesday).
There were 3 more Muskies in doubles, as it was Mark Lyons, who had 14, Kenny Frease, who had 12, and Jamel McLean, who had 10. Dante Jackson also added 9.
Trey Thompkins was UGA's leading-scorer, as he netted 14, and was one rebound away from a double-double. Two other Bulldogs were in double-figures, Travis Leslie, who had 13 points, and Gerald Robinson, who had 12.
So, this win will no doubt help Xavier get to the Big Dance, as it may be their biggest win of the season, and will help them receive votes in the polls. XU goes to 17-6 overall, and UGA falls to 16-7 overall.
Up next for X is a road game, as they play the Duquense Dukes. The Muskies and Dukes go at it on Sunday, at 2:00 PM ET, and you can catch the game on FS Ohio. Let's hope XU does not collapse after a big win like last time, you know, where they beat Richmond and then lost to Charlotte, yeah.
