It’s going to be a celebratory Saturday at Cintas Center as No. 5 Xavier honors seniors James Farr, Remy Abell and walk-on Kevin Coker before a sold-out crowd in a 2:30 p.m. regular-season finale.
The festivities are one thing, Farr said, but winning the game is even more important.
The Musketeers (25-4, 13-4 Big East) have a second crack at a Creighton team (18-12, 9-8) that peeled off a 70-56 upset last month in Omaha. The outing was underscored by point guard Maurice Watson Jr.’s career-high 32 points and Xavier’s inability to overcome a woeful start.
