MILWAUKEE – Marquette, ranked No. 16 in the latest AP poll, is unbeaten at home (10-0) this season, making Sunday's game (12 p.m., FOX) one of Xavier's toughest road tests in the 2018-2019 season.
Marquette 6, Xavier 3, 15:08 first half – It took nearly three and a half minutes for Xavier's offense to get on board and it was an old-fashioned 3-point play from Naji Marshall that did it.
Xavier has gotten off to a poor start shooting, 1 for 8, but the Golden Eagles haven't been much better, 2 for 9.
