The Cintas Center on the Xavier University campus and the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island were inextricably linked Wednesday night.
At Xavier, the Musketeers basketball team was due to battle Seton Hally in a late game.
While fans waited for it to begin they turned their collective gaze to the Ocean State venue where Providence College hosted the Villanova Wildcats. The game held implications for the Xavier and the Wildcats, the two-loss frontrunners in the Big East Conference.
