Big East Player of the Year candidate Myles Powell struggled to find the range for Seton Hall, going just 3 of 14 from the field and tallying only nine points. Seton Hall had a 10-game winning streak snapped, losing for the first time since Dec. 14 at Rutgers. After Myles Cale started the scoring for Seton Hall with a jumper, Xavier made a run that would color the rest of the game. Seton Hall did get things together for the half’s remainder, going on a 17-5 spurt to give itself some momentum going into the break. Xavier shot 51.7 percent to the Pirates’ 24.3 percent in the first half, and also owned a whopping 30-9 advantage on the boards.
