Jalen Reynolds had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and No. 7 Xavier held off a late rally to beat No. 10 Providence 75-68 on Tuesday night, the Musketeers' first road win over a Top Ten team in 20 years. Trevon Bluiett added 15 points for Xavier (18-2, 6-2 Big East). With Bluiett battling late foul trouble and James Farr already fouled out, the Friars used a 16-5 run to cut what had been a 17-point deficit down to 64-58 with 3:44 remaining.
