Bracket Set for A-10 Quarterfinals in Atlantic City!!
Despite three straight #1 seeds, Xavier hasn't faired so well the past three seasons in AC. Quarterfinal wins (Dayton, Dayton and Saint Louis) have been followed by Semifinal losses (Rhode Island, St Joe's and Temple). In 2010, the Muskies try their luck as a #2 seed. Again for the fourth straight year going into the conference tourney XU is certain of an NCAA bid. So what"s in doubt?? Seed, whether they play Thursday-Saturday or Friday-Sunday and game location!!

Muskies Roar into March!! Rest and Recharge for AC!!
XU didn't kid around Saturday afternoon at Cintas. They jetted to a 26-6 lead over previously streaking St.Bonnies (4 wins in a row) and cruised to a dominating 93-72 all-hands-on-deck victory to close-out the regular season. The Muskies finish at 23-7 overall, 14-2 in the A-10, and 15-0 at home. The late season momentum continues to build. Xavier's won seven in a row overall and 15 of 18 since Jan 1st (losses at Wake Forest in double OT, at #16 Temple and at Dayton).
X Wins Fourth Straight A-10 Title
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.
