Xavier will face Maryland in Orlando

Xavier men's basketball has been called to the dance floor.

Following a productive, 2-1 showing at the Big East Tournament in New York City this past week, the Musketeers (21-13 overall) received on Sunday the No. 11 seed in the NCAA Tournament's West Region.

Xavier will meet the No. 6 Maryland Terrapins (24-8) of the Big Ten Conference in the first round of the tournament Thursday. The game will be played in Orlando's Amway Center, home of the NBA's Orlando Magic.

Maryland ended the regular season ranked America's No. 25 team and went into the Big Ten Tournament in Washington, D.
