NEW YORK -- There was no room for error for Xavier in Thursday night’s BIG EAST Tournament opener against DePaul. With their NCAA Tournament hopes hanging by a thread, at least according to the bracketologists out there who have the Musketeers squarely on the proverbial bubble, there could be no missteps against the 10th-seeded Blue Demons. Coming into the tournament with just one win in their last seven games – with that one coming against DePaul in last Saturday’s regular-season finale - the seventh-seeded Musketeers had to go about the business of piling up as many wins as possible in the BIG EAST Tournament in order to make that NCAA tournament resume look as appetizing as possible to the tournament selection committee on Sunday.
