The Marquette Golden Eagles couldn’t convert on their chances and played lousy defense as Xavier put three past them Sunday afternoon. With the loss, they drop to 3-10-2 overall and 1-4-1 in Big East play. They also likely won't be competing in the Big East tournament with just 4 points with three games left. Sixth place Creighton already has nine points, and just reaching nine points is going to be an effort and a half for Marquette.
Confession: This is the first full game I’ve watched all season. It was the Golden Eagles’ biggest game and I thought I might as well watch it over NFL football.
