The Marquette Golden Eagles flashed the offensive spurts that have made them so dangerous when they’re clicking on Wednesday night. In a pivotal matchup with the Xavier Musketeers, it was Marquette who spoiled the ‘Senior Night’ festivities for the X-Men, as the Golden Eagles dang-near boatraced the opposition, winning 95-84 to improve to 18-11 on the year
Xavier, who fall to 18-12 on the season, are in the midst of their worst stretch in decades. The 1981-82 Musketeers had a seven-game losing streak and X is teeter-tottering around the mark now as they’ve lost six straight with their last win coming on February 8 against, coincidentally, DePaul.
