NEW YORK (Interstat) — Connecticut overwhelmed Xavier 93-68 in a Big East men’s basketball game Thursday at Madison Square Garden. The top-seeded Huskies, improving to 28-4, built a commanding 50-30 halftime lead before a crowd of 19,812 and never relented. The Musketeers, who finish their season at 15-18, could not recover from the early deficit. Connecticut’s balanced attack proved decisive as the Huskies advanced in the conference tournament. The victory marked the third win for Connecticut over Xavier this season, following two decisive regular-season wins.
