Nunge's block seals Xavier's win over Kennesaw St in NCAAs | |
GREENSBORO, N.C (AP) Terrell Burden got a shoulder past his defender and pushed into the paint, locking in on the rim for a chance to move Kennesaw State within reach of its first-ever NCAA Tournament win. Instead, Xavier's Jack Nunge descended on him to make the play that capped the Musketeers' late defensive surge - and saved their season. Nunge blocked Burden's driving attempt at a go-ahead layup in the final seconds, and Xavier dug out of a 13-point hole against surprising Kennesaw State to escape with a 72-67 victory in Friday's first round.
