Marquette travels to Xavier for the Big East Conference opener for both teams Saturday afternoon.
Tipoff from the Cintas Center in Cincinnati is set for 3:00 p-m.
Xavier is led by three seniors – Paul Scruggs, Nate Johnson, and Adam Kunkel.
That trio has accounted for 42 percent of the team’s scoring.
The Musketeers come into the game ranked number-22 in college basketball and have one of the best defenses in the Big East.
Marquette is undefeated when it blocks at least six of its opponents’ shots.
The Gold Eagles are 3-and-3 when they fall short of that.
