The Xavier Musketeers improved to 8-0 for the first time since 2015-16 on Sunday, with a 91-88 victory at the buzzer against the Marquette Golden Eagles.
The game, like most of the Big East’s contests on Sunday, was a back and forth contest, chock full of entertainment and lead changes, of which there were 13.
The biggest story of the game was the final 30 seconds. With Xavier up by four with 25 seconds to play, Koby McEwen drew contact on a three-point attempt. The shot fell into the hoop and McEwen connected on his free throw attempt to tie the game at 88, in what was a nightmare scenario for Xavier given the situation.
