Xavier Players Had to Be Separated During Win Over Kennesaw State

Xavier and Kennesaw State were locked in a tight battle in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday. Third-seeded Xavier was down big in the second half, but a 15-0 run gave them a 63-61 lead with 4:13 to go. Despite the big comeback, things weren't all good with the Musketeers. Two players had to be separated during a timeout after they took the lead.
As the clock was stopped for the under-four minute timeout, senior guards Souley Boum and Adam Kunkel got into it on the floor and then had to be separated on the sidelines.

Guys get heated during college basketball games, it happens. But that's certainly not a great look from two seniors late in a tight game during the NCAA Tournament.
