CHICAGO – It was odd and ugly and somehow Xavier escaped Wintrust Arena on Wednesday with a 68-67 win over DePaul in a game the Blue Demons led for more than 35 minutes.
Xavier held the lead for exactly two minutes and eight seconds, and part of that was the final 1:15 of the game after Jack Nunge hit a free throw to give the Musketeers a lead.
For most of the night, Xavier looked out of sorts. The Musketeers didn't play well, yet they found a way to win on the road in the Big East.

Nunge scored a team-high 23 points with 15 coming in the second half and Colby Jones chipped in with 13 for the Musketeers.
DePaul's David Jones scored a game-high 26 points.
