On the list of opponents you don’t want to play, a good team coming off an absolute body-blow of a loss at home ranks near the bottom.

Xavier lost fairly convincingly, 83-71, to Seton Hall on Wednesday night to fall to 1-2 in the league. The Musketeers were on the wrong side of a 21-5 run in the first half, rallied to make it a game, and then made multiple self-inflicted mistakes down the stretch as the Pirates pulled away.
