Over the next few days, we will be previewing the Villanova Wildcats’ 2019-20 basketball schedule. We’ll continue with the kick off of the Big East games, looking at the Xavier Musketeers, the Marquette Golden Eagles, and the Creighton Blue Jays.
2018–19 Record: 19–16 (Big East 9-9)
Head coach: Travis Steele (2nd season)
This past summer, Xavier’s fanbase had a taste of what ‘Nova Nation underwent on the heels of the 2018 National Championship: anxiously awaiting the NBA draft decisions of four key players. While ‘Nova Nation ultimately received the equivalent of the sledgehammer to the face, Musketeer fans were ecstatic to learn that Naji Marshall, Quentin Goodin, Paul Scruggs, and Tyrique Jones would all be returning for another run.
