Tough A-10 draw for Xavier

Musketeers could meet Dayton in first conference tournament game

STAFF REPORT

Xavier earned a No. 2 seed in the 2010 Atlantic 10 Championship and doesn't have to play in Atlantic City until Friday with a first-round bye.

But the Musketeers' first action in the conference tournament will be a meeting with the winner of Tuesday's Dayton-George Washington matchup, which could set up a rematch against the same Flyers squad that handed Xavier its worst loss of the season.

The 90-65 drubbing was the Muskies' most recent loss - and their most lopsided loss of the season.

If Xavier defeats the Dayton-George Washington winner on Friday, the Musketeers would play again Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The A-10 Championship final is set for 1 p.m. on Sunday.
