Xavier is an 11.5-point underdog in tonight's Sweet 16 match-up against No. 2 seed Arizona, but if the program's Spotify playlist is to be believed, the Musketeers are receiving proper motivation. Xavier Athletics tweeted out a picture of a playlist, which is just DMX's 2003 hit "X Gon' Give It To Ya" on repeat.

When it comes to X vs. the 'Cats, one of the verses is a bit prophetic.
Ain't never gave nothin' to me
But every time I turn around
Cats got they hands out wantin' something from me
I ain't got it so you can't get it
Lets leave it at that cuz I ain't with it
People are certainly not giving Xavier a real chance in this one. We'll have to see if the Musketeers can pull the major upset.
