Xavier has topped 100 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2007-08. It's the seventh set of back-to-back 100s in school history.

Love, the only senior on the team, had a career-high 15 rebounds and 14 points. Jamel McLean added a career-high 13 rebounds.

Sacred Heart (2-2) was led by Corey Hassan's 22 points.
