CINCINNATI (AP) Tyrique Jones finished as one of Xavier's leading scorers. His biggest contribution may have come during the first media timeout.

The Jones, a senior, lit into his teammates for what coach Travis Steele described as sloppy play against Siena.

"We were trying to hit home runs too much, and that was leading to easy baskets for Siena," Steele said. "I let them know it, and Tyrique did, too. He said it was unacceptable. He was a great voice in that timeout. He's like an extra coach on the floor."
