2025 Tournament PreviewIt was a down year for a top-heavy Big East, but Xavier still snuck into the NCAA Tournament as the league's fifth team. Coach Sean Miller's Musketeers likely saved their tournament hopes with a seven-game winning streak to close the regular season, though they were bounced immediately by Marquette in the conference tournament quarterfinals despite a 38-point effort from junior guard Ryan Conwell (16.8 ppg). The offense lives by the three-pointer, shooting 38.8 percent (6th), led by Conwell, who has drained a team-high 97 treys at 41.8 percent. Big man and leading scorer Zach Freemantle (17.3 ppg, 7.1 rpg) can even step outside on occasion, and the team's 56th-most efficient offense (per KenPom) sports a top-10 free-throw percentage. No bad losses helps Xavier's resume, but with just one Quad 1 victory, the Musketeers could struggle against the country's top teams, especially those that lock down the perimeter, if they survive the 11-seed play-in game in the Midwest.
