Marquette at Xavier

Many don't understand how the Big East has put 11 teams in the NCAA Tournament and with Marquette the 11th team, most feel they don't belong here. Maybe looking at the fact that they beat West Virginia twice, UConn and Syracuse there is a reason they are here - they are a dangerous team. Xavier has not had any big wins out of the A-10, and lost to Cincinnati in their biggest out-of-conference game by 22 points. The Golden Eagles have shined as a dog as they are 13-5 ATS in their last 18, while Xavier has been a disappointment out of the A-10 at 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine out of conference. Play on Marquette.
