Xavier heads to Creighton seeking revenge in season finale

Posted by Josh on Saturday, March 7, 2015, In : Game Recaps, Notes, Previews, etc.

Xavier is more than likely in the NCAA tourney but a loss at Creighton and a loss in game 1 of the Big East tournament next week would make Xavier Nation VERY nervous on Selection Sunday.

Let's get revenge on the Creighton Bluejays, who beat X at Cintas in February. Creighton started out 0-8 in Big East play but is a much more respectable 4-5 in the last 9 and they are playing the top teams in the league very tough. They fell by 4 to #4 Villanova and by 2 to #19 Butler in their last two home g...

Xavier hosts #6 Nova on Senior Day

Posted by Josh on Saturday, February 28, 2015, In : Game Recaps, Notes, Previews, etc.

Last year, Villanova was 6th in the country in the final week of the regular season and came to Cintas Center and spoiled Xavier's Senior Day. Today, hopefully only some of history will repeat itself. Again 6th in the country, Nova comes to X to play the Muskies on Senior Day. The game is nationally televised on Fox.

Matt Stainbrook and Dee Davis will be suiting up for what will be their last game at Cintas Center (unless we really fall apart in the final week and BE Tourney and end up in the...

Xavier seeks revenge on Seton Hall

Posted by Josh on Monday, March 3, 2014, In : Game Recaps, Notes, Previews, etc.

Seton Hall delivered Xavier it's only home loss of the season earlier this year. Revenge is on our mind as well as holding onto the #3 seed in the Big East tournament. Fresh off a HUGE win against Creighton, Xavier needs to keep the momentum going.

Two games left before the conference tourney! At Seton Hall tonight and at home vs #6 Villanova on Thursday

Go Muskies!!!
