Bynum's 27 points lift No. 11 Providence over Xavier in 3 OT
Adam Kunkel had 20 points and Paul Scruggs added 19 for Xavier, which has lost two straight and seven of 10. He hit two free throws and, after another Musketeers miss, Providence was able to run out the clock. Alyn Breed, who hadn’t attempted a shot to that point, sank two free throws to make it 84-81. Scruggs got it back to a point with his jumper on the other end before two more free throws by Breed. Two more free throws by Scruggs cut it to 86-85, but Xavier fouled Watson before the next inbounds — a flagrant foul.
