Xavier 72, Dayton 51
Justin Doellman had 19 points to lead five players in double figures and the top-seeded Musketeers won their ninth straight.
The defending champion Musketeers (24-7) also got 16 points from Stanley Burrell. Justin Cage added 14, Drew Lavender had 13 and nine assists, and Josh Duncan racked up 10 points to beat eighth-seeded Dayton (19-12) for the third time this season.
Xavier will play the winner of the Fordham-Rhode Island game in a semifinal on Friday at Boardwalk Hall.
Brian Roberts scored 15 of his 22 points in the first half in keeping the Flyers in the game. Charles Little, the conference’s sixth man of the year, tallied all 11 of his points in the second half after the outcome was decided.
Dayton played the game short-handed. It lost starting forward Monty Scott late in the season with a knee injury. And backup guard Marcus Johnson sprained an ankle in the opening-round win over Charlotte and did not play. The offense also fell apart when point guard London Warren picked up three first-half fouls.
