At Xavier, 'the whole campus swarmed outside'

As the final seconds ticked down on Xavier's dramatic 73-71 Xavier win over Arizona in the NCAA tournament, Musketeer fans knew there was only one place to go.

Students from the dorms rushed the quads in the early hours of the morning, celebrating Xavier's win and Elite Eight status.

"The whole campus swarmed outside," student Jack Trimpy told The Enquirer Friday morning.

"I don't remember the last minute, everyone was jumping,." said student Claire Comer, who watched the game in her dorm room with friends.

Other students like Grayson Jenkins met friends at Buffalo Wild Wings on Madison Road, where the scene was very much the same.
