The Xavier Musketeers will fly to Omaha and meet the Creighton Bluejays in Big East play from the CHI Health Center on CBS. Xavier leads the all-time series, 14-13, after winning four meetings in a row, including a matchup in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago.
Xavier jumped to 17-4 after beating UConn in Storrs. The Musketeers jumped out to a big halftime lead, and held off a fierce rally from the Huskies to walk away with the three-point victory. Xavier is scoring 84.1 points per game, while allowing 75.5 ppg, and shooting 50.3% from the field.
Xavier got a big time road win over UConn last time out, and they can close Week 12 of the college basketball season on a stronger note with a win over Creighton here. Xavier sits at the top of the Big East at 9-1 currently. The Musketeers carry a diverse lineup that features five double digit scorers, led by UTEP transfer Souley Boum. The 6’3 guard went for a game-high 26 points in the first victory over Creighton, and after hitting five threes in the win over UConn, he’s up to 16.8 ppg. Colby Jones scored 20 points against the Huskies, and he’s posting a nice line of 14.6 ppg, 5.0 rpg, and a team-lead 5.1 apg. Jack Nunge (14.3 ppg, 8.1 rpg) and Zach Freemantle (15.1 ppg, 8.3 rpg) give Xavier an effective size advantage each time out, and the latter recorded a 30-point double-double versus Georgetown.
