Win Anyway: #11 Marquette 69, #16 Xavier 68

holy goddamned hell

Marquette men’s basketball needed a lot on Wednesday night. They needed a big game from Stevie Mitchell. They needed a big game from Oso Ighodaro. They needed some tough buckets from David Joplin. They needed the energy and enthusiasm and just straight up noise from the 16,041 in attendance at Fiserv Forum. Finally, they needed a big final five minutes from Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who gathered up his only rebound of the entire final 20 minutes to stick back a missed layup by Kam Jones to finish with all seven of his points in the game after halftime.
