Swartz scored 16 points while going 6 of 11 (3 for 5 from 3-point range). Nik Graves shot 6 for 12 (1 for 4 from 3-point range) and 3 of 4 from the free-throw line to finish with 16 points, while adding nine assists.
The Musketeers (11-8, 3-5) were led by Tre Carroll, who recorded 29 points. Filip Borovicanin added 16 points, eight rebounds and nine assists for Xavier. Jovan Milicevic had 15 points.
