It will be a juicy BIG EAST clash as No. 9 Butler takes on No. 6 Xavier in Cincinnati.
The opening tip-off of BIG EAST games saw undefeated Xavier fall to Villanova and Butler fall to Kris Dunn and Providence. It was shocking to see both teams, who started off great in nonconference play, lose in their conference openers. But we still have a ways to go.
The Xavier Musketeers showed they were the cream of the crop in the BIG EAST during nonconference play as they went 12-0 to begin the season.
