XAVIER!

Xavier freshman guard Dante Jackson turns 20 on April 7th, the night of the national championship game, and there's still a chance that he will be celebrating it in San Antonio sitting on the Xavier bench. The Musketeers win in overtime, 79-75, as B.J. Raymond hits two big threes--the final on an inbounds play when there were just 2 ticks on the shot clock--to secure the win for the Cincy school.

Most of the credit goes to Josh Duncan, however. Duncan scored a game-high 26 points despite picking up his 4th foul with 12:31 remaining. I'm not sure how many minutes beyond that Duncan played---not sure when or if he took a seat--but he was there for most of the rest of the game. Never fouled out. And scored 10 of his 26 points after that foul. Nicely done.
