CINCINNATI – The Xavier men’s basketball team has earned a trip to the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. The Muskies drew a six seed in the West Region and play 11th seed Minnesota, which lost big today to Ohio State in the Big 10 tourney final. XU (24-8) and Tubby Smith-led Minnesota (21-13) play Friday in Milwaukee.
Tubby Smith’s Golden Gophers were one of the last teams to receive an at-large bid. They learned their fate soon after being thumped by Ohio State 90-61 in the Big Ten Tournament championship.
The NCAA Tournament announcements came just one day after XU lost an overtime contest to Richmond in an Atlantic 10 Championship semifinal in Atlantic City, N.J.
