Xavier men stay on a roll with rout of Marquette
Four consecutive impressive wins — each led by a different player — have No. 8 Xavier back in form at the midpoint of the Big East season.
Point guard Quentin Goodin scored 13 of his 15 points while Xavier took control in the first half, and the Musketeers routed Marquette 89-70 on Wednesday night to remain unbeaten at home.
The Musketeers (19-3, 7-2 Big East) surged ahead by 26 and were never threatened as they beat the Golden Eagles for the second time this season. Xavier has won eight of the past 10 games between the schools.
The Musketeers have recovered from back-to-back losses at Providence and No. 1 Villanova this month.
