CINCINNATI – Zach Freemantle scored a team-high 21 points and Dailyn Swain combined 10 points with 10 rebounds to lead Xavier to a 94-57 loss to visiting Jackson State on Tuesday night.

Freemantle led a torrid performance from the field for Xavier, who shot 54.1 percent from the floor and hit 16 of 31 3-pointers. The big man finished 8-of-11 overall and went 4-of-5 from distance.

The Musketeers had six players score in double figures. Dante Maddox Jr. scored 16 points off the bench, Trey Green had 15 points, Ryan Conwell scored 14 and John Hugley IV finished with 11.

Xavier (3-0) has two games remaining in the five-game season opener.

Jayme Mitchell Jr. had a game-high 26 points and Romelle Mansel added nine points and seven rebounds to lead Jackson State (0-3), which is just three games into a brutal 13-game road trip to open the season.

The Musketeers drained four of their first five 3-pointers to take a 14-2 lead just over four minutes into the game. Conwell, a transfer from Indiana State, made Xavier’s first two three-point attempts to continue his hot start with his new team.

Freemantle helped the Musketeers build their lead to 33-14 on his third triple with just under seven minutes left in the half.

As red-hot as Xavier was to start the game, Jackson State was ice cold. The Tigers missed their first seven shots and 10 of their first 11 from the floor.

Jackson State looked for some momentum just before halftime when Dorian McMillian stole a pass from Conwell at center half. McMillian went in for a dunk just before the halftime buzzer when Hugley came running toward him for a thunderous block that brought the Xavier crowd to its feet and sent the Musketeers into the locker room with a 40-25 lead.

Nine straight misses by the Tigers ultimately allowed Xavier to extend its lead to 54-29 midway through the second half. Jackson State missed 30 of its first 41 shots, including botched shots on 10 of 15 layups.

Jackson State, which lost 97-40 in its opener at No. 4 Houston, plays at Vanderbilt on Saturday and at Western Kentucky on Wednesday before facing No. 19 Kentucky on Nov. 22.

The Tigers’ home opener is Jan. 11.
