After a quick one-game home stand, Marquette men’s basketball is heading back on the road to Cincinnati, Ohio to kick off the BIG EAST conference season against the No. 22 Xavier Musketeers.
The Golden Eagles finished up their non-conference season with a record of 8-3 after falling by a final of 67-56 to No. 4 UCLA on Saturday. Additionally, Marquette lost two of their last three contests with the loss at Wisconsin and the one-point win at Kansas State.
Despite falling to the Bruins, redshirt-junior guard Greg Elliott had a breakout performance, shooting 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and scoring a career-high 22 points.
