| Tu Holloway prays for a miracle in Xavier's loss to Marquette. |
The Xavier Musketeers, who usually make it to at least the Sweet 16, were facing the Marquette Golden Eagles in Cleveland, Ohio. I said this game would be great, and too good for truTV. I was wrong. This game was terrible. This game shouldn't have even been televised. Xavier lost 66-55, and their season comes to a close. Seniors like Dante Jackson, Andrew Taylor, and Jamel McLean, have all finished their careers at Xavier University.
This was a very tough loss for XU. If this was a regular season game, I would not even bother to take the time to make a recap. If this was the 1st time I ever watched the Muskies, I would think they were a Division 2 team. Not a good performance for them. Pretty much the whole team played terribly, and will pack up and head back to Cincinnati tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, Xavier NEVER lead in this ballgame.
This is sad for the Seniors, as their career ends early. But one senior had a great game tonight. That man would be Andrew Taylor. Andrew only averaged 2 points per game, but in this one he had 16. Behind him was Kenny Frease who had 12, and then the Senior Dante Jackson had 10 points. The Musketeers star player, Tu Holloway, only had 5 points off the bench. I said Tu would be the key to this game, if he did not get about 20 points, X would lose, and that they did. He could have very well been the reason they lost. Or, it could have been how bad they were from the floor, only 40%, and they only had 2 3's.
So the Musketeers season is over. Tough loss. That's all I can say. I guess there is always next year.
But, even though they lost, I have to have something positive in this recap, here it is:
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE XAVIER MUSKETEERS ON A GREAT REGULAR SEASON, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE XAVIER SENIORS ON A GREAT CAREER AT XU.
