Marquette turned in a dominating performance on Saturday, no two ways about it. They had a week off after their disappointing loss to Georgetown sent them spiraling down towards (and also past) the cut line in last week’s bracketology check.
Let’s see how things are doing ahead of Tuesday night’s contest against St. John’s. Will we see an improvement, or will the bracket wizards think that Marquette merely put a hurting on an already wounded Xavier squad?
ESPN (2/20/17): Joe Lunardi wasn’t particularly impressed by the win over Xavier, keeping the Golden Eagles as one of the last four teams in the field and as an 11 seed.
