Xavier gave Villanova all it could handle Friday night at Madison Square Garden but the Musketeers came up short in overtime Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com
As the pairings were announced for the NCAA Tournament on national television Sunday night, the Xavier Musketeers (18-15) were left uncalled.
Xavier had made five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances since the year of 2012-2013.
It's just the second time in the last 14 seasons that Xavier has not made the NCAA Tournament.
