MILWAUKEE — Xavier's season seems in much better shape now that frequently injured sixth-year forward Zach Freemantle is feeling better. Freemantle sat out the entire 2023-24 campaign with a foot injury as Xavier went 16-18 for its first losing season since 1995-96. He missed Xavier's first three Big East games this season with a knee issue as the Musketeers staggered to a 1-4 start in conference play. Now he's helped Xavier win three straight. Freemantle had a team-high 14 points and 10 rebounds Saturday in Xavier's 59-57 victory at No. 7 Marquette.
