When these two teams met three weeks ago, it was a tense affair at Cintas that was not settled until the final minute. Marquette has gone 1-5 since then, but three of those losses were one-possession games at the end of regulation. The Golden Eagles remain dangerous, and doubly so for the damage a loss to them would do to Xavier's at-large hopes. Do you stay with what (just barely) worked at home, or should the depth chart get a shuffle for Tuesday's game?
BOILERPLATE SECTION: everyone jump in with their depth charts in the comments; this is clearly becoming a thing. Be prepared to be respectful in questioning what other people put and in defending what you wrote. For what it's worth, here's some info that might inform your decisions:
- By now I'm sure you're aware that Sumner and London are both out for the season.
- Coach Mack said that Sean O'Mara should be getting more minutes; will he put his money where his mouth is on the road in conference?
- Matt Stainbrook has clearly been hobbled by some sort of injury lately.
- Dee continues to put miles on the ol' odometer, playing 39 minutes in each of the last two games.
