Pat Calathes scored 24 points and Saint Joseph's held No. 10 Xavier to a season-low point total in a 61-53 victory in the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament on Friday night.Despite the loss, the top-seeded Musketeers (27-6) are all but guaranteed a spot in the NCAA tournament when the selections are announced on Sunday. Fifth-seeded Saint Joseph's (21-11) can lock up its first NCAA tournament berth since 2003-04 on Saturday night in the championship game against the winner of the other semifinal between second-seeded Temple and sixth-seeded Charlotte.
Ahmad Nivins added 15 points for the Hawks, whose tough man-to-man defense limited Xavier to 37 percent shooting from the field, including only one basket outside the paint.
Josh Duncan had 11 points and Jason Love added 10 points and nine rebounds for Xavier, which also lost to Saint Joseph's 71-66 last week in a regular-season game.
