Sean Miller’s Xavier Musketeers just gave up a lot of ground in the race for the Big East regular season title. Not only did they lose to Marquette on Wednesday, 69-68, but they also dropped a game to Butler on Friday February 10, 69-67. Now the No. 16 Musketeers need to bounce back because at 11-4 in Big East play they are two games back of Marquette with a game in hand.
If Xavier wants to be the regular season champions, then they need to take care of business against teams like the DePaul Blue Demons who are only ahead of last place Georgetown in the conference. DePaul is 9-17 overall and 3-12 in conference play.
DePaul has struggled immensely in conference play this year. Their last win came back on January 18, a 73-72 victory of the Xavier Musketeers. So, there’s a chance that they can pull the season sweep on a ranked opponent. Let’s check out the odds.

Xavier simply completed up a gauntlet in convention play. 4 of their final six video games have come towards ranked Large East opponents which are all competing for the highest spot within the convention. They got here out of that stretch 2-4, so there will probably be loads of motivation to get a convincing win over DePaul, a group that beat them beforehand this season. Xavier is eighth in factors per sport, and third in each area aim and three-point share. They’re an offensive juggernaut that’s prime 20 in effectivity and twenty fourth in KenPom’s adjusted tempo metric.
On the opposite aspect, DePaul is a defensive catastrophe. In addition they attempt to play at a quick tempo, however that simply ends in giving up 76.7 factors a sport and their opponents capturing 44.7% from the sector and 34.6% from three. In that final assembly each groups shot 20 three-points. DePaul made 9 and Xavier made 4. The Musketeers simply couldn’t shoot in that sport in any respect, however they dominated each different aspect. Xavier will get a giant win in the present day and give themselves an opportunity to remain within the race for the common season Large East title.
