Prepare To Be Ranked: Marquette 75, #20 Xavier 64

Let’s start with the most important part: Sunday afternoon’s contest at Fiserv Forum is why you love to have your team in the Big East, because sometimes things come together and you get a barn burner of a basketball game like that one.

I’d say that even if I didn’t get to say the next sentence: Behind a 20 point, 13 rebound double-double from Justin Lewis, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles nabbed their sixth straight win in league play by knocking off the #20 ranked Xavier, 75-64. Marquette is now 14-6 overall and 6-3 in Big East play after an 0-3 start, while XU drops to 14-4 overall and 4-3 in the league.
