The No. 25 Xavier men's basketball team had a lot to celebrate on Saturday afternoon. Prior to tipoff against St. Bonaventure, the team and fans honored its lone senior, Jason Love, in pre-game ceremonies, thanking him for his four years as a Musketeer which ranks atop the list of all time winningest players to ever don a Xavier uniform. When the final buzzer had sounded, Love had added to that all-time win total as the X-Men defeated the Bonnies, 93-72, before 10,031 fans at Cintas Center. Jordan Crawford led all scorers with 22 points and four rebounds as XU improves to 23-7 overall. With the victory, X finishes in a first place tie with Temple at 14-2 for the 2009-10 Atlantic 10 regular season championship, marking the Muskies' fourth straight league crown. The Bonnies, meanwhile, drop to 14-15 (7-9).

Muskies Stay Focused!! Keep Pace with Temple!!
As expected, Xavier clobbered sad sack Fordham, 82-56, at Rose Hill Gym in the Bronx Wednesday night. The Rams showed some fight early on. It was their Senior Nite! The teams basically traded baskets for about 12 minutes. Then Dante Jackson came out of nowhere to block Chris Gaston's seemingly sure driving lay-up. Over the ensuing 7:35 XU delivered intense defense, wore Fordham out and put the game on ice with a 17-7 run resulting in a 45-31 halftime lead.
X Wins Final Road Game of Season at Fordham
No. 25 Xavier moved one step closer and just one game away from winning its fourth straight Atlantic 10 Championship on Wednesday night. The Musketeers travelled to the Big Apple and knocked off the stuggling Fordham Rams, winning 82-56 at Rose Hill Gym. Jamel McLean led all scorers with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting. The junior also pulled down eight rebounds as XU improved its record to 22-7 and 13-2 in the Atlantic 10. Fordham, meanwhile, drops to a lowly 2-25 (0-15 A-10).
Muskies Squeeze by Spiders!!!
Richmond was as good as advertised!! Xavier needed maximum grit to close-out the Spiders in double OT at Cintas Sunday, 78-76. The Muskies led most of the game but could never figure out a way to get double digit seperation and break the Spiders' considerable will. XU misfired on final shots in regulation and the first OT before surviving a Richmond missed driving lay-up near the second OT buzzer to win it.
