SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — No. 11 Xavier (24-13) vs. No. 1 Gonzaga (35-1)
Fourth Round, West Region; San Jose, California, 6:09 p.m. EDT.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Xavier didn't look like an Elite Eight team in early March, coming off six straight defeats that led coaches to try to burn the month of February from the players' memories, literally.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Point guard Edmond Sumner eased himself down the hallway from Xavier's practice gym on Monday using a pair of crutches to protect his surgically repaired knee. Somehow, his team has figured out how to move on without him.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Xavier point guard Edmond Sumner will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury.
An MRI on Monday confirmed a tear to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He was hurt during an 82-77 victory over St. John's a day earlier.
Sumner had 17 points and seven assists for the Musketeers (15-6, 5-3 Big East). He had to be helped off the court by teammates after he was fouled while scoring with about six minutes left.
NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Mack didn't have the look of a coach whose team just got a big win to stop a tough stretch of four losses in five games.

CINCINNATI (AP) — As the first half wound down, point guard Edmond Sumner headed to the end of the Xavier bench, sat down and winced. His left shoulder was hurting so bad.

Sumner led a second-half surge that swept No. 22 Xavier to an 86-75 victory over Georgetown on Sunday, ending the Musketeers' longest losing streak in three years.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Alone atop the Big East, No. 16 Xavier is taking a lot of confidence into its most challenging stretch yet. And the Musketeers are getting senior guard Myles Davis back, too.
Edmond Sumner had 20 points and seven assists on Saturday, leading a balanced offense that swept Xavier to a 97-82 victory over St. John's. The Musketeers (13-2, 3-0) are the last unbeaten team in league play.
WASHINGTON (AP) — No chance Edmond Sumner could sleep in on his birthday, not with Xavier's Big East conference game set for an unusual 11 a.m. start time. Instead, the sophomore guard went out and rocked Georgetown with a performance that was anything but a snoozer.
Sumner scored a career-high 28 points on his birthday and J. P. Macura added 23 as No. 17 Xavier fended off Georgetown for an 81-76 victory Saturday.
CINCINNATI (AP) — One of Xavier's biggest weaknesses has been a tendency to ease up. There was none of that in the Musketeers' Big East opener, which they turned into their most lopsided win yet.
Trevon Bluiett scored 22 points on Wednesday night, and No. 17 Xavier took control at the outset and pulled away to an 82-56 victory over Providence. The 26-point margin made it Xavier's most lopsided win in four seasons of Big East play.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Edmond Sumner ditched the tape on his injured finger and played his best all-around game, a good sign for No. 17 Xavier as it enters Big East play.
Sumner scored 12 of his 14 points while Xavier took control in the first half, and the Musketeers picked up their third straight win, 85-56 over Eastern Washington on Tuesday night.
After a sluggish start, the Musketeers (10-2) took control with a 35-8 run. Sumner ran the show, ignoring the finger injury he suffered a few games ago.
CINCINNATI (AP) — No. 17 Xavier got outrebounded for the first time all season and wasted several chances to put the game away, allowing it to come down to a final free throw. Trevon Bluiett made it.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The rematch was no match at all. Xavier's defense made sure of it.
J.P. Macura scored 18 points, and Xavier's defense dug in during a dominant first half, sending the ninth-ranked Musketeers to a 64-42 victory over Northern Iowa on Saturday.
Xavier (6-0) completely controlled a matchup of teams playing for the second time in six days. The Musketeers beat Northern Iowa 67-59 for championship of Tire Pros Invitational in Orlando last Sunday.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The play J.P. Macura made with 1.7 seconds left won't show up in any boxscore, and certainly won't appear in any highlight video.
But it helped No. 11 Xavier escape and remain unbeaten.
