SPEAKING OF XAVIER
The Musketeers, who just cannot miss from beyond the arc, lead 24-10 with 11:10 remaining in the first half. Sean Miller's team is as efficient as they come.
About five miles north of here is Xavier High School, an all-girls Catholic school (I went to the all-boys school across an old football field from Xavier). Anyway, if you want to talk sports dynasties (and who doesn't wanna talk sports dynasties...I mean, I cannot speak as articulately on Ming dynasties), you have to mention Xavier golf. Under the direction of the same coach for three decades, Sister Lynn Winsor, Xavier has won 26 state golf championships in 29 years. Quite impressive.

Star search: First celebrity sighting. Nick Lachey or someone who very closely resembles him is seated in the 2nd row behind the Mountaineer bench clad in a white WVU polo shirt.
With 8:14 remaining in the first half, Xavier (the university, not the high school) leads 28-12.
7:44 to play in the first half and WVU is finally getting a little momentum. Xavier has committed two consecutive turnovers (pass out of bounds, followed by a traveling violation) and the score is now 28-14. WVU forward Joe Alexander, who is averaging 25.5 ppg in his last five games, has 3 points.
The big difference? 3-point shooting. Xavier is shooting 75%, 6-8. WVU is shooting 0%, 0-5.
And here's how Coach Huggins feels about that, you might imagine:
