Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

16 Xavier at 11 Marquette, CBSSN, 7pm - Carter Blackburn, Pete Gillen and Evan Blackburn (reporter)
Line: Marquette -5.5/159.5

Huge game for Xavier- a win tonight pretty much clinches any sort of tiebreaker for the end of the season. Would have sweeps of UConn and Maruqette. And have single wins already against Creighton and Providence.

A win by Marquette creates a 3-way tie for 2nd place.

XU without Freemantle seems to be at a pretty significant disadvantage. Take the Golden Eagles and give the points.

No Desmond Claude or Kam Craft for Xavier tonight.

My excitement for watching this one has dissipated.

CBS Sports starts off suggesting that this might be the game of the year in the Big East. A couple weeks ago, I'd be inclined to agree. Now? Ugh, Xavier is limping into this game, dreading the minutes they're gonna have to get from Kyky Tandy and Cesare Edwards.

Also, Boum is playing with a sprained ankle, just to add to how hobbled Xavier is.

A combined halftime score of 52 points, just like we all predicted.

This is unexpected.

Great game.... Pete Gillen is awesome. Raquel Welch died so i'm distracted.
