What to Know
The Xavier Musketeers and the St. Bonaventure Bonnies are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 29 at Madison Square Garden in the fourth round of the NIT. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
It was a close one, but last week Xavier sidestepped the Vanderbilt Commodores for a 75-73 win. Having forecasted a close victory for the Musketeers, the oddsmakers were right on the money. They got double-digit scores from five players: forward Zach Freemantle (16), guard Colby Jones (15), guard Adam Kunkel (14), guard Nate Johnson (12), and forward Jack Nunge (10).
Speaking of close games: the Bonnies earned some more postseason success in their matchup last Tuesday. They escaped with a win against the Virginia Cavaliers by the margin of a single free throw, 52-51.
With both teams having displayed their playoff mettle, spectators can expect a high-quality game. Check back with CBS Sports for more details during and after the game.
