We’ve officially got a chalk battle in the 2023 Big East Tournament final at Madison Square Garden. The regular season champion Marquette Golden Eagles outlasted UConn as an underdog and will now face the second-seeded Xavier Musketeers, who demolished Creighton in their semifinal matchup.
In fact, it’s a game I predicted would happen when these two teams last met in mid-February. But of course, I gave out UConn to win the Big East Tournament in my betting preview.
Something tells me Marquette and Xavier are gonna settle the score at MSG
