Xavier
beats Pitt,
reaches
1st Sweet
16 since
2017
GREENSBORO, N.C.
(AP) — Sean Miller has
unselfish Xavier back in the
Sweet 16.
Jack Nunge scored 18
points, Adam Kunkel added
15 on five first-half 3-point-
ers, and No. 3 seed Xavier
beat 11th-seeded Pittsburgh
84-73 on Sunday to advance
to the NCAA Tournament’s
second week for the first
time since 2017.
Colby Jones had 10
points, 14 rebounds and
seven assists, and Souley
Boum and Jerome Hunter
each chipped in with 14
points as all five Xavier
starters scored in double
digits.
Xavier entered the game
leading the country in
assists per game (19.2)
and had 17 on 19 baskets
in the first half to build a
48-34 lead at the break. The
Musketeers finished with 22
assists.
The victory came exactly
one year after Miller agreed
to return as Xavier’s coach.
He had coached the Mus-
keteers from 2004-09, help-
ing them reach the Sweet
16 twice and the Elite Eight
once before leaving for Ari-
zona. This will be Miller’s
first regional semifinal
appearance since 2018 with
the Wildcats.
Miller said he never
doubted he could still win,
but gave the credit to his
players.
“I have an amazing group
to work with,” Miller said.
“There’s a lot of coaches
that could win with this
team, and I recognize that.
My hope is that we have
more in us, that we’re able
to have a great week and
make what we already feel
good about even better.”
Xavier (27-9) moves on
to play No. 2 seed Texas
on Friday in the Midwest
Region semifinals in Kansas
City, Missouri.
Blake Hinson scored 18
points and Jamarius Burton
had 16 for Pitt (24-12).
It was the second straight
game Nunge came up big
for Xavier. The 7-foot center
had a critical blocked shot
in the closing seconds of
the Musketeers’ 72-67 first-
round win over 14th-seeded
Kennesaw State.
“I’ve been dreaming
about this moment ever
since I started watching
basketball,” Nunge said.
“When you are in school,
you are thrilled when your
teachers let you turn on the
game and not have to focus
on class. And so March
Madness is a special time
of year. It’s the best tourna-
ment in the world.”
Nunge set the tone early,
dominating the paint with
eight points in the first
10 minutes while Jones
knocked down two 3s as the
Musketeers bolted to a

Altuve could be out for a while; Nimmo hopeful for opener
Associated Press
The Houston Astros

right thumb after he was
hit by a pitch playing for
Venezuela during World
Baseball Classic.
The eight-time All-Star

closer Edwin Díaz to the
injured list because of

Utilityman Mauricio
Dubon, who batted .208

expected to move into the
Astros’ lineup to replace
Altuve at second base.
“It appears it could be

Dusty Baker told report-

The Musketeers blew
the game open with a 12-2

made two 3s and threw an

Kunkel followed with his
fifth 3 of the first half to
give Xavier a 19-point
lead with 1:26 left.
“We really rode the
wave of Adam Kunkel,”
Miller said. “He was 5 for

We really shared the ball
and played at our pace
throughout the game. We
talked a lot about that
before the game.”
Pitt did not get closer
than eight points in the
second half even after
Nunge fouled out with
3:18 remaining.
After holding No. 6
seed Iowa State to 41
points on Friday, Pitt
allowed Xavier to score 42
in the first 15 minutes.
“Iowa State was not as
good of an offensive team
as Xavier,” Pitt coach Jeff
Capel said. “Xavier has
been an elite offensive
team all year. They were
moving with great pace.
They made seven 3s in
the first half. The ball had
