Filip Borovicanin scored 13 points, hauled in 11 rebounds, dished eight assists and sparked a 17-0 second-half run to help host Xavier pull away from Missouri State for a 75-57 victory Friday night in Cincinnati.

Jovan Milicevic scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Tre Carroll contributed 13 points and seven boards for Xavier, which led 39-35 three minutes into the second half. However, the Musketeers, playing their final game before Big East play begins Wednesday at home against Creighton, scored 17 consecutive points and were not threatened for the rest of the game.

At one point during the run, Xavier made five straight shots from the field. The Musketeers again took care of the ball, committing just two turnovers in the second half and six for the game.
