Jack Nunge made the play Xavier desperately needed.
The No. 3 seed Musketeers fell behind No. 14 seed Owls at halftime and saw that deficit grow as large as 13 points midway through the second half.
On the ensuing possession, Kennesaw’s Kasen Jennings tied the score with an off-balance layup at the 1:22 mark, but Xavier ended up scoring the game’s final five points to come away with the victory. Over the next two seasons, the Owls went a combined 18-37 with a 9-21 mark in Atlantic Sun play. But this season, the Owls shared the Atlantic Sun regular season crown with Liberty before besting the Flames in the conference tournament.
