Xavier opens postseason play against a Marquette team they twice beat by eight in the regular season.
Tomorrow at 7:00pm, Xavier takes their first step into single elimination tournament play. Behind Henry Ellenson and almost no defense at all, it was Marquette who kept their season alive against a very game St. John's squad tonight. You can say a lot about where SJU is headed and whether Chris Mullin belongs on a college sideline, but you can't question the effort that gave this evening in coming up just a bit short in yet another game marred by incessant foul calls and look at me moments for the referees.
