Xavier is at hot mess right now. The Musketeers are fading at the worst possible time, having lost five straight. They're on a 2-12 ATS run that includes no covers in the last six games. When they met two weeks ago, Marquette buried them 83-61 as six-point home favorites. I can't find any reason to support Xavier to break the funk other than it’s at home, and that's just not a good enough reason. Give me the points with Marquette.
My simulations show a straight-up win coming for Marquette on Wednesday against Xavier in a battle of Big East clubs fighting for their tournament-bubble lives. The Golden Eagles had won two straight before collapsing at Providence on Saturday, squandering a 12-point lead in the waning moments. Short-handed Xavier has been unable to overcome the injury loss of point guard Edmond Sumner and has dropped five straight, including a 22-point loss at Marquette. Look for the Eagles to complete the season sweep here and add to Xavier’s demise.
