Marquette at Xavier prediction​

The Golden Eagles had the chance for a signature road victory at Villanova on Feb. 10, but couldn't hold on to a late lead. Freshman star Nigel James Jr. had some turnovers down the stretch and sophomore forward Royce Parham was bothered by cramps in the best game of his career. Those two young players will take their frustration out on Xavier and MU gets an easy win in a tough environment.

Prediction: MU 78, Xavier 67
