The last time these teams met, Xavier crushed Marquette 89-70. Now Marquette looks to be the better team and Xavier is looking to spoil a great start to the Golden Eagles season.
Xavier Musketeers
Xavier dropped their last game to Seton hall, losing by a score of 70-80. Now they travel to a very good Marquette team to try an avoid a two game conference losing streak. A win in this game could give the Musketeers a boost, especially when it comes to qualifying for the tournament in March.
The Musketeers’ offense has been stagnant at times, only scoring about 75 points per game. They do however shoot about 48% from the field, which puts them in the top 40 teams in that department. Look for the Musketeers to rely on their solid shooting to try and steal a win on the road.

The Musketeers have not been terrible defensively, but they have also not shown to be dominate. They allow about 70 points per game, but against Big East opponents their average raises slightly to 72.5.
Marquette Golden Eagles
Marquette took a beating to St. John’s in their conference opener. They now will have the opportunity to come back home and defend their home court against an average Xavier squad. With the Big East being loaded with talented teams, the Golden Eagles do not want to start 0-2 and certainly need this win.
While it is true that Marquette’s offense was poor at St. John’s, they actually average 79 points per game. One of their strengths is knocking down the long ball where they shoot 38.1%. They also rebound the ball very well, averaging 41.1 rebounds per game. Lastly, they shoot free throws very well, coming in at 74.9% as a team. Free throw shooting will be a huge key in what looks to be a close game.
