Point Lookout, Mo. – Despite 19 points from sophomore guard Jack Krieger (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield North), the No. 6 seeded Saint Xavier University men's basketball team ended its season Friday night with an 83-73 loss to No. 10 seeded Indiana University-Southeast in the second round of the 22nd Annual NAIA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship at Keeter Gymnasium on the campus of College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Mo.  The Cougars had difficulty cooling off the Grenadiers' hot start, which resulted in an early 12-2 lead and 55 percent shooting from the field in the first half (17-for-31).  SXU fell behind by as many as 21 points in the second half, but used a fierce 19-5 scoring run to cut the deficit to six points, 73-67, with 3:17 to play.  Unfortunately for Saint Xavier, IUSE made enough baskets and free throws to stifle the rally attempt in the final three minutes.
