Revenge is sweet. The Xavier Musketeers avenged their heartbreaking loss in the NCAA Tournament to Wisconsin two years ago and put away the Badgers 80-70.
Going into the game, Xavier knew it had to get a strong performance from Trevon Bluiett, who was averaging 25.5 points a game and seven rebounds. The Musketeers were also well aware that they were going to have their hands full with Second Team Preseason All-American Ethan Happ who is one of the best big men in the country.
The Musketeers came out of the gates strong.
