Xavier falls at St. John's, dropping its fifth straight
QUEENS, N.Y. – The darkest, most tumultuous stretch of the season continued on Wednesday night at St. John's as the Xavier Musketeers suffered a fifth consecutive loss, 81-66, bringing serious doubt for the hope of an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament.
Xavier's now lost seven of its last eight games and what began as a promising season has turned into a nightmare for a team with one regular-season game left on Saturday against Georgetown.
The Musketeers could now be looking at a scenario where they may have to win multiple games in next week's Big East Conference Tournament in order to make the NCAA Tournament.
