It was all Musketeers as Xavier dispatched Marquette by the final score of 90-72. They will play in the semifinals once again after a solid defensive performance.
Xavier came into this game fresh after having five games off and took advantage of the first round bye in their 18-point victory over Marquette. For the second season in a row, Xavier will play in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament on Friday night.
Trevon Bluiett led the way for Xavier with 24 points on 9-14 shooting that included 5-8 from behind the arc. In the second half, Marquette’s defense struggled to keep him off the three-point line and the First Team All-BIG EAST player made them pay.
