PREVIEW: Marquette looks to topple No.8 Xavier in road clash

Marquette will be in search of another signature victory when they take on No. 8 Xavier at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati Wednesday night.

While the Golden Eagles kept it close last time these two teams squared off at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, the Musketeers used a late run to pull away from Marquette in a 91-87 win.

With games against No. 1 Villanova, Butler and Seton Hall next on the docket, a win Wednesday night against Xavier would be a massive step towards securing a return to the NCAA Tournament.

The game tips off at 5:30 p.
