Eighty minutes.
Forty on Saturday night at Marquette. And forty more in the Big East Conference Tournament.
That's all Xavier University's men's basketball team is guaranteed the rest of this season.
The Musketeers can earn more if they make the most of those eighty minutes.
It starts with a road trip to Milwaukee – a trip that hasn't been kind to Xavier (13-6, 6-6 Big East) in recent years. Xavier's last two trips to Fiserv Forum have been a pair of blowout losses by a combined 38 points, and Saturday night (9 p.m., Fox Sports 1) will be the first time all season the Golden Eagles will have fans (1,800) in attendance.
