Saturday, Feb. 4's NCAA college basketball slate includes a Big East matchup as the No. 16 Xavier Musketeers look to remain dominant at home against the visiting St. John's Red Storm.

Xavier has a pep in its step after securing an 85-83 overtime victory over ranked Providence on Wednesday. St. John's hasn't had much luck lately, though. The Red Storm fell 84-72 to Seton Hall earlier this week, marking their third loss in the last four outings.
