No. 15 Xavier rallies to beat DePaul, reach Big East semis

NEW YORK (AP) With two graduate students, two seniors and a junior in the starting lineup, No. 15 Xavier isn't likely to panic in the postseason.

Jack Nunge had 23 points and 10 rebounds, Colby Jones scored 22 and the Musketeers pulled off a late comeback to beat DePaul 89-84 in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals Thursday night.

Souley Boum added 16 points for the second-seeded Musketeers (24-8), who trailed by 13 in the second half and led for only 2 1/2 minutes total. They will face No. 24 Creighton in the second semifinal Friday night at Madison Square Garden after the third-seeded Bluejays beat sixth-seeded Villanova 87-74.
