 CINCINNATI (AP) - Drew Lavender scored 17 points in a tone-setting first half Wednesday night, and No. 21 Xavier used another balanced, blink-of-an-eye run to set up a 79-66 victory over previously undefeated Creighton.
The Musketeers (7-1) won their sixth in a row behind their 5-foot-7 point guard, who had been limited to directing their high-powered offense in the early going. Given a chance to shoot, he showed he hasn't lost his touch.
Lavender dribbled through every full-court press that Creighton (5-1) threw at him, then made shots or passed off for an easy basket at the other end. He finished with a season-high 28 points and a career-high 10 assists.
