After losing six straight games into early March, Xavier has since won five of its last six games. The Musketeers were given one of the last NCAA Tournament seeds not requiring a play-in game, then beat Maryland and Florida State last weekend in Orlando, Fla., to reach the Sweet 16. Trevon Bluiett had 29 points on 8-for-14 shooting and made 10 of 14 free throws in Xavier’s 91-66 upset of Florida State in the second round on Saturday.
