Tuesday night's battle between Missouri (2-0), of the Southeastern Conference, and Xavier (2-0), of the Big East Conference, is an early-season test for both teams at the Cintas Center.
It won't make or break the season for either team, but it will be a good indication of how good the Musketeers and the Tigers are.
This game is the finale of a two-year home-and-home contract between the two schools. Missouri won comfortably last season on its home floor and the Musketeers are hoping to level the score this season in Cincinnati.
Xavier's 260-41 in Cintas since the venue opened in 2000.
