Nick Mayo and the Colonels come to Cincy.
Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsThe Xavier Musketeers are back in action again. After falling to rival Cincinnati last week, the Musketeers take the floor at Cintas Center on Saturday night, as they welcome the Eastern Kentucky Colonels to town.
EKU is riding a three-game winning streak as they come into this game with the same record as Xavier, that being 6-4. They’ve won four of their last five as well, with the lone loss coming against the vaunted Tennessee Volunteers. The Colonels are led by the scoring prowess of senior Nick Mayo. Mayo is one of the best scorers in the nation, currently tied for 10th in the nation at 24.4 points per game.
