Xavier will play on Thursday at 9:30pm. If the Muskies win, they'll go on to play (presumably) Creighton at 9:30pm on Friday. Here's what the whole shootin' match looks like.
Thanks to Wikipedia and fair use laws for that bracket. I think this broke about as favorably as Xavier could have hoped for, but I'll be interested to hear your thoughts here and on Twitter.
