It's a fun time at the McGuire Center.
Powered by an 18 point, 13 rebound, and five assist performance from freshman star Allazia Blockton, Marquette knocked off Xavier, 74-69, on Sunday afternoon. The win moves Marquette to .500 on the season at 13-13 and 8-7 in Big East action. That record has Marquette sitting alone in sixth place in the Big East with three very winnable games to play.
It was a pretty wild game, where the first and third quarters featured a bunch of ties and lead changes and the second and fourth quarters were largely about Marquette taking a major lead.
