Xavier coach Travis Steele and senior Tyrique Jones on a much-needed upset win over No. 10 Seton Hall on Saturday, February 1, 2020. Cincinnati Enquirer
NEWARK, N.J. – In a closed-off section above the Prudential Center Saturday afternoon, not long after Xavier's men's basketball team shocked No. 10 Seton Hall, earning its strongest win of the season, Naji Marshall was surrounded by a group of his family and friends.
Marshall grew up in Atlantic City, New Jersey, so every season the trip to Seton Hall is a homecoming for him.
Laughing and smiling, he posed for pictures, dished out hugs like they were assists, but it was clear he was physically drained following a 38-minute performance in which he posted 19 points, 10 rebounds and four assists.
