This week, Xavier will play games against DePaul and Marquette. Xavier is better than DePaul. Xavier is also better than Marquette.
Obviously, this doesn't guarantee two wins from two for the Muskies. There are confounding factors, first of which is that neither team is catastrophically bad. I mean, DePaul is bad, but they're more NIT bubble bad than candidate for relegation bad. Marquette is on the regular bubble and has won four in a row. It has been more than a month since a team has beaten them by double digits.
Worse still, both games are on the road.
