Xavier over Florida State

The Xavier Musketeers are a top five seed that lost all momentum to end the season, resulting in their spot at No. 11 in the Big Dance. After an impressive win over a seriously talented Maryland squad, they will face the Florida State Seminoles, who many people think do not deserve their No. 3 seed.

Florida State is a good team, but Xavier looks like they are finally beginning to adjust to the loss of Edmond Sumner. I don’t think Xavier does anything crazy like win it all, but I do think this team can get past the Seminoles.
