Xavier head coach Travis Steele called Saturday night's buzzer-beating loss to Butler "gut-wrenching." Cincinnati Enquirer
Eventful hardly scratches the surface of what Saturday was like for Xavier men's basketball team and its fans.
The day ended in a rollercoaster ride that went from elation to despair in a matter of seconds when Butler's Kamar Baldwin drilled a game-winning 3 just after Xavier's Naji Marshall converted a tough 3-point play to put the Musketeers up, 71-69, with less than nine seconds to play.
Hours before Xavier took the floor against Butler, Marshall, a junior forward, ignited a social media storm with an Instagram post that said "Last home game in a Xavier jersey," leaving many to speculate that he'll be done at Xavier after this season.
