MILWAUKEE, Wis. u2015 With first place in the Big East Conference on the line, a golden opportunity slipped through Xavier's fingers in the final minute at Marquette on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum.
No. 16 Xavier led No. 11 Marquette 66-63 with 1:25 left. The Musketeers got a defensive stop and as Souley Boum brought the ball past half-court, the Golden Eagles trapped him and he turned it over, leading to a breakaway layup by Olivier-Maxence Prosper with 29 seconds left.
Following a Marquette timeout, Colby Jones inbounded the ball to Boum in the corner, where he got trapped by two Marquette defenders.
