WASHINGTON (AP) - C.J. Anderson and Drew Lavender each scored 18 points and Josh Duncan had 16, and No. 3-seeded Xavier was surprisingly efficient on offense in an 85-78 victory over Purdue that put the Musketeers in the West Regional semifinals.

Keaton Grant scored 19 for the Boilermakers, who have won 10 straight first-round games but have exited without another win in half those tournaments - including two in a row.
