NEWARK, New Jersey – Not since Xavier's days as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference during the 2012-13 season had it lost four games in a row.
A recent run of road games against Providence, Marquette and, on Wednesday, Seton Hall – all good teams desperately fighting for their postseason lives – ended with the Musketeers' first four-game skid since the A-10 days.
The Seton Hall University Pirates (17-10, 7-8 Big East) likely plopped itself on the NCAA Tournament bubble with a 71-64 win against Xavier (18-10, 8-7) at the Prudential Center before a tepid crowd of 7,139.
