Tu Holloway and the Xavier Musketeers went up against Dayton on Saturday night. Many people called this game for Xavier "there season" or "this is a bracket buster" and I couldn't agree more. If Xavier would've lost this game, they would've had to win the remaining games in the season and win the A-10 Tournament just to get a seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Many believed Tu Holloway won the game with his spin fade-away three pointer to take the lead. Tu Holloway and Kevin Dillard are in competition for the player-of-the-year award for the A-10. Holloway proved that he deserves that #1 spot by scoring 32 points, getting 6 rebounds, earning 5 assists and stealing the ball twice. Dillard scored only 20 points, got 2 rebounds, earned 6 assist, 1 steal and got 2 blocks.
After the win Saturday, Xavier earned third place in the A-10 all by themselves. Xavier is 8-4 in the conference, and they improve their record to 17-9. The only two teams ahead of Xavier in the conference is Saint Louis (10-3 in the conference) and Temple (10-2) in the conference.
