Xavier moves to 4-1 on the season in conference play to keep pace just a step behind Villanova.
When this starts to feel routine, keep in mind how special what this team is doing is. There was a time that a road win against Marquette would have been a crown jewel in Xavier's season. Now it's just another result we expect against a middle-of-the-pack team in a conference in which Xavier is quickly establishing itself as an insider.
This team can really defend
With just over 12 minutes left in the first half, Marquette hit a three to go up 18-11.
