Costly mistake ends season Scruggs fouled out of Wednesday's 89-82 1OT loss to Butler after recording 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 39 minutes.

Impact Scruggs scored efficiently and supplied a team-high six assists, but missed three free-throws with under a minute to play. Most notably, Scruggs went to the line after drawing a foul while sinking a spectacular shot, but failed to convert. He then proceeded to foul Simas Lukosius with Xavier only winning by two points -- fouling out in the process. Butler eventually earned the victory, resulting in a brutal exit for the fifth-year senior...barring luck from the NCAA selection committee.

Subpar again Scruggs logged eight points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 97-75 win over Georgetown.

Impact Scruggs has failed to hit the 10-point threshold in each of his last three games. The senior wraps up the regular season averaging 11.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game with a 42.5/33.0/69.1 shooting slash. Scruggs will look to boost his career stock on a big stage starting Wednesday, when Xavier matches up against Butler to kick off the Big East Tournament.
