Marquette heads to Cintas Center to face the Xavier Musketeers Sunday afternoon in the team’s second BIG EAST road matchup of the season.
After dropping their BIG EAST home opener 70-63 to Seton Hall Thursday night, the Golden Eagles now sit at 5-3 on the season.
Xavier is a perfect 7-0 this season with big wins against Tennessee Tech, Cincinnati and Oklahoma. This is the team’s best start since the 2016-17 season. The Musketeers were the first team in the nation to be 5-0 after a 79-49 rout over Tennessee Tech.
This game will be Xavier’s BIG EAST opener as the Musketeers have yet to play a league game.
