The Musketeers, who also received 10 points from Myles Davis and nine rebounds from Jalen Reynolds, shot only 38.2 percent from the field but enjoyed a 40-27 rebound advantage and a 16-5 edge at the free-throw line.

Duane Wilson had 12 points to pace Marquette (11-13, 3-9), which played its second straight game without leading scorer Matt Carlino (concussion). Juan Anderson (11 points) was the only other player to score in double digits for the Golden Eagles, who shot 34.6 percent from the field, including 3-of-15 3-pointers, and committed 15 turnovers in suffering their seventh loss in their last eight outings.

Xavier, which led 28-25 at intermission, scored the first eight points as part of a 19-6 run to open the second half, giving the visitors a 47-31 lead with 10:26 to play. Wilson's trey cut the deficit to 12 points with 4:52 remaining, but that was as close as the hosts would get.

Marquette used 6-0 and 10-0 runs – with the majority of the points coming inside – to open up a 16-5 lead with 12:34 remaining in the first opening half. Xavier, though, slowed down the Golden Eagles by switching to a 1-3-1 zone and answered with a 19-3 spree over the ensuing 10 minutes to take its first lead – and an advantage it would never relinquish – en route to the 28-25 edge at the break.
